Join artist Roxana Gutila for a pressed flower workshop to create your own floral artworks to take home with you. All materials provided – but feel free to bring your own flowers to press!
Artist Roxana Gutila will lead a guided pressed flower workshop during the Bow Open 2026 exhibition that includes her work Spring Impression (2026).
You will experiment with a mini flower press to preserve your flowers, then design and frame delicate floral artworks to take home with you on the day.

This event will be held in the courtyard room at Bow Arts Trust, 183 Bow Road, London E3 2SJ.
More about Roxana Gutila
Roxana Gutila is a self taught artist who creates botanical art as a meaning to provide continuity to something that is otherwise ephemeral. She brings back the ancient, sometimes forgotten art form of pressing flowers, to extend sentimental memories from the past into present space. She works across different mediums, with nature perpetually at the centre.
