Tote Bag Flower Hammering Workshop

Join us at Atlantic Gardening Company on July 12th from 12:00pm - 2:00pm and get ready to release some creative energy—rubber mallet in hand! In this hands-on workshop, Rachel Takas from Lady Takas Textiles will teach you the unique and satisfying art of flower hammering, a natural dye technique that uses real blooms to transfer vibrant color and intricate patterns onto fabric. Using a selection of annuals and perennials like petunias, vinca, impatiens, and more, we’ll show you how to turn ordinary flowers into extraordinary, one-of-a-kind botanical prints on a canvas tote bag. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just looking to try something new, this class is all about getting creative, embracing the beauty of nature, and having a little floral fun (and maybe a little stress relief with that mallet!).
