Introduction to Flower Pressing + Matcha
Join pressed flower artist and educator Joanna Hiu for this exclusive flower pressing experience in collaboration with Kings Park Botanic Garden and Aiko Matcha.
Designed for beginners, this intimate workshop invites you to slow down, work with your hands and discover the timeless art of pressing and preserving flowers.
Joanna is a Perth-based pressed flower artist who specialises in transforming meaningful flowers into lasting artworks. Drawing on years of experience working with flowers, she will guide you through the foundations of flower pressing and share the techniques she uses within her own artistic practice.
We’ll begin the morning with Aiko Matcha, who will introduce you to matcha and share a little about its preparation before you enjoy a freshly prepared matcha as we settle into the flower pressing experience. Then it’s time to get hands-on with flowers.
You’ll learn how to select flowers for pressing, how to prepare different varieties and foliage, and why different flowers require different approaches to achieve the best results. Joanna will demonstrate her techniques and guide you as you prepare and press a beautiful selection of fresh flowers yourself.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to care for your flowers throughout the pressing process, what to look out for, common mistakes to avoid and how to continue experimenting with flower pressing at home.
This is more than an introduction to a new craft. It’s an opportunity to spend a few hours surrounded by flowers, enjoy matcha and experience the process of creating slowly and intentionally in the beautiful setting of Kings Park.

  • 5/5 from Stephanie Knearle, attended Oct 2026: Today we learnt an introduction to flower pressing. Jo was absolutely fantastic and explained in detail about how to press flowers from easy to more challenging ones. There was about 8 of us and was a perfect cosy atmosphere. I loved being able to use a good variety of flowers to learnt with, because then when you want to do it at home and you have a bit more of a challenging flower, you have an idea of what to do and how to press it. I absolutely loved how we had a delicious matcha at the start of the class and we got to have our own learn to press flower book and a flower press full of flowers to take home. Jo also taught us about the aftercare of the flowers once we got home
  • 5/5 from Hannah Kolbusz, attended Oct 2026: I attended Joanne’s Introduction to Flower Pressing workshop in Kings Park. It was a wonderful workshop, which provided hands on experience in learning how to press flowers. I did not have any prior experience with this and I found Jo’s welcoming nature and clear instructions and tips incredibly helpful. She answered everyone’s questions and with only a small group, she was able to assist everyone where needed. She provided a beautiful variety of fresh flowers, as well as all of the tools needed for flower pressing, including her gorgeous book, to be able to continue pressing flowers at home. Thank you Joanna for hosting such a fun, welcoming, relaxing and special morning. I really appreciate the time, effort and thought you put into sharing your passion with us. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Verlene Hunter, attended Oct 2026: Fantastic, intimate space at kings park. Ideal setting for the workshop. Knowledgeable, fun and friendly hostess sharing her expertise. Perfect size workshop with like minded people. Had a lovely morning.
  • 5/5 from Carolina Souza da Silva, attended Oct 2026: The workshop was my birthday gift for myself. And it was just amazing! Jo is so calm and generous sharing her knowledge that is impossible to don't fall in love with the technique. Everything was very thoughtful and beautiful, I recommend it, for sure!

Hello, I’m Joanna Hiu, a pressed flower artist based in Perth.
I work with flowers in a way that allows them to last beyond their season, preserving them into pieces that hold meaning, memory, and story. Alongside my heirloom work, I host workshops that invite you to slow down and create with your hands.
These sessions are not about getting it perfect. They are a gentle space to explore, to reconnect with your creativity, and to leave with something you’ve made yourself.
Whether you come on your own or with someone you love, you’re welcome here.
