ARTlab: Getting in the Weeds — Pressed Plants with Emily Meineke & Robin Vuchnich

Discover the art and science of flower pressing in a hands-on workshop with scientist Emily Meineke and artist Robin Vuchnich at the Frist Art Museum. Practiced for centuries, flower pressing preserves the beauty and structure of plants while creating lasting works of art. Learn techniques for pressing and mounting flowers and explore how scientists use historical herbarium collections from naturalists such as Henry David Thoreau and Emily Dickinson to study biodiversity and track how plants respond to environmental changes. Tickets are $25 for Frist members and $45 for non-members. fristartmuseum.org
