Capture the delicate beauty of nature in timeless art. You’ll learn the process of botanical plaster casting/botanical bas relief, using plants and flowers to create your own unique plaster piece.
This program has a cost recovery fee of $15.00. This fee can be paid the night of the program at the Connaught Branch. It is suggested that you arrive 20 minutes before the program so that there is enough time to process your fee before the start of the program. This is an in-person program. Register to receive a reminder and any other resources.
Guided step by step, you’ll discover how to bring out the fine details of your chosen botanicals. You'll also have a chance to relax and have some refreshments while your project sets and dries. Please note this project uses plaster. Masks will be provided but some plaster dust should be expected in the room.
This branch is not wheelchair accessible. The program is duplicated at other accessible locations.
This program is repeated twice. Please register for one session only.
The repeat of this program happens on May 9 at Sherwood Village Branch. See more on our website here!
Presenter Information:
Michelle Smith is the owner of Higher Self Holistics. She's an intuitive energy healer who offers Reiki, astrology, BQH and other healing modalities. She supports clients through challenges like grief, major life transitions, and health issues.
In addition to one-on-one healing, she hosts group regression sessions, local artisan markets, workshops, and festivals—including the Higher Heart CommuniTEA events -- which bring like-hearted individuals together to celebrate creativity, alternative healing, and community.
A passionate gardener, she loves growing heirloom plants from seed, seed saving, and discovering unique edible perennials that grow in our zone. After leaving a 25-year office career in 2022, Michelle turned to her garden to decompress and began creating botanical plaster cast artwork (also called botanical bas relief art), a technique that preserves the natural beauty of plants in sculpted form. She has recently begun sharing this art with others through workshops.
