Event Description
Join us for an engaging interactive talk exploring floriography—the art of using flowers to convey messages. Hosted by art therapist and printmaker, Sarah, this session looks at how the symbolic meanings of plants have grown over time, from ancient Greece, to their fascinating Victorian heyday and to the ways we can interpret them today.
Sarah will share her own lino prints inspired by floral symbolism, offering a fresh perspective on this timeless language.
You will also be encouraged to share some of your own stories on plant symbolism, or what certain plants symbolise to you.
Whether you're curious about history, love art, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature, this talk is a great way to connect with the stories hidden in petals and leaves.
- Duration: 60 mins
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
Meet the Host, Sarah
Sarah is an art therapist, artist, and creator of nature visualisations. Living in the North York Moors, she has a passion for nature, soothing activities and finding ways to feel connected. She reconnected with art-making 20 years ago after becoming ill and found that art-making and soothing activities made a huge difference to her emotional and physical health. This led her to train as an art therapist, graduating with her MA in 2011. Bringing a sense of soothing and feeling connected has remained her primary focus in her work and life.
