Gather & Create Pressed Floral Art
I get it. Sometimes just looking at pretty flowers isn’t enough—you also want to hold onto them. If you’ve been looking for a way to slow down, pick up a new skill (or two!), and really dive into the actual art of pressing flowers, you're in the right place.
Our classes are for the ones who want to go beyond the "heavy book" method and really learn the secrets of the press.
In our classes you'll learn more than just about flowers. You'll gain the "can-do" confidence to create your own botanical art from scratch and take home a piece of nature that lasts.

It’s been a while since I’ve taken an art class of any type. Time and money were factors, but mostly I missed something that spoke to my heart. My first interaction with Charina of Orchid and Pine was so welcoming that I knew I’d found just what I needed: flowers, learning new skills, incorporating parts of my life, and a beautiful environment. The pressed flower frame class, hosted at Home by Zinnia’s in Scotts Valley, featured a beautiful layout of needed supplies and clear, well-thought-out instructions that allowed participants to explore the process while making connections to the people involved and the images we were working with. The food, libations, and décor of Home by Zinnia’s made it a perfect Sunday evening treat. Being able to return home with a beautiful frame filled with flowers and a precious picture was exactly what my heart needed!

I booked the pressed floral frame private event for my child’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Before the event, the instructor, Charina, communicated clearly via email with all the important details about the event. During the session, she was incredibly patient as she guided my kids and their friends through each step. She provided a beautiful variety of pressed flowers and leaves, along with all the tools needed for the activity.Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the process flowed smoothly from one step to the next. The kids had an amazing time crafting and creating their frames. The reservation process was very user-friendly, and communication with both Jiaren Cafe and Charina was seamless.

Lovely and inspiring time! I had the privilege of attending a workshop with Orchid and Pine and made a beautiful pressed dried flower glass frame. I appreciated all the attention to detail. Everything was provided and then some and instruction was wonderful. I feel inspired to work with dried flowers and am starting to learn how to press and dry them. Thank you!!
