SPOTLIGHT ON…

Capturing Fleeting Beauty

Florists and pressed-flower specialists Melissa Richardson and Amy Fielding of JamJar Edit are launching an online flower-pressing course at Create Academy. Favourite of the fashion set since they were commissioned to create pressed-flower invitations for Mulberry’s spring/summer 2015 fashion show, they became fascinated by this traditional craft. The JamJar Edit studio now specialises in creating pressed flower artworks, from single-stem framed pieces to ambitious installations, private commissions and exhibitions. “We think a lot of people see pressed flowers as being a bit fusty and Victorian, but we want to show that this ancient craft can actually be a beautifully modern and inexpensive way of decorating contemporary homes,” they say. jamjaredit.co.uk
