Under the expert guidance of artist Hazel Oliver from Badger & Birch, guests will explore imaginative casting techniques using seasonal botanicals such as flowers, ferns, leaves and seed heads. You’ll be guided step-by-step through pressing, casting and finishing your circular design in eco resin, creating a beautifully detailed framed plaque to take home as a lasting reminder of your experience.
Using seasonal flowers, ferns, leaves and seed heads to create imprint castings, guests will be led through the techniques in pressing, casting and finishing the eco resin to design and create their own finished plaque ready to take home. No experience is necessary and all materials are provided.
This workshop is perfect to pair with our Wooden Wreath Painting Workshop, a complementary experience celebrating florals and the joy of colour.

About Hazel
Hazel Oliver is an artist who specialises in the creation of sculptural mixed media vessels and castings.
Created in her studio, Badger & Birch, Hazel’s work is defined by a natural aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the layered rock and landscape palettes of her home surroundings in Cornwall.
Through her practice, Hazel celebrates organic texture and form, transforming found and fallen elements – such as driftwood, lichen, moss, decaying matter, recycled elements, shells, sands and leaf litter – into elegant cast works made from eco resin, paper pulp and carved clay.
Her work is inspired by the shifting patterns of the land and sea, the quiet beauty of imperfection, and the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi. Each piece conveys a sense of calm and connection to nature through subtle tones and tactile surfaces.
She originally studied for an MA in Children’s Illustration at Cambridge College of Art, where her love of texture, form and minimal design first began.
