JAMJAR EDIT
Pressed flower art works are the result of a series of processes from growing and gathering flowers and pressing them, then designing and making up art works. Each stage requires consideration and thought.
“Each pressing captures the individual beauty and character of the specimen, the evidence of its unique nature continues to change very slowly over time.”
The pressed flower art works record nature as we find it. JamJar use traditional flower pressing methods, placing suitable plant specimens between two sheets of blotting paper within layers of card in a flower press. Our studio is piled high with presses that are maintained and checked regularly. The dried and pressed specimens are then carefully composed and delicately mounted using a paintbrush and acid free glue.
JamJar Edit is a collaboration between Melissa Richardson, Amy Ireland and India Windsor Clive.
