Preserve the beauty of flowers, leaves and botanical finds with the Studio Wald Flower Press Smock, a beautifully crafted flower press made in England. Designed as a modern update to the traditional botanical press, this well sized 15cm press allows gardeners, nature lovers and creative makers to capture and preserve the plants they discover on countryside walks, allotment visits or garden explorations.
Crafted from sustainably sourced maple veneered board, the press combines durability with thoughtful design. The sturdy wooden boards provide even pressure across the pressing layers, helping flowers and foliage dry flat while maintaining their natural colour and structure. The striking Smock artwork printed on the top panel adds a contemporary botanical aesthetic, making the press both a practical tool and a beautiful craft piece.
Inside the press you will find multiple layers designed to absorb moisture and protect delicate plant material during the pressing process. The press includes 5 sheets of corrugated card and 8 sheets of sugar paper, giving ample space to press several flowers or leaves at the same time. These layers help wick away moisture while allowing air circulation, which is essential for successful flower pressing.
The press is secured using metal nuts and bolts which allow the layers to be tightened evenly. This ensures gentle and consistent pressure across the flowers being pressed. Nuts and bolts are supplied in a small envelope, alongside an A7 folded leaflet that explains how to assemble the press and begin pressing flora.
Studio Wald produces each press in England, with laser cut boards and carefully printed designs assembled in their Leeds studio. The press is packaged in a sturdy greyboard envelope box, making it ideal for gifting to gardeners, crafters, nature explorers and children interested in learning about plants.
Flower pressing is a wonderful way to preserve memories from the garden or countryside. Pressed flowers can be used for handmade cards, framed botanical art, scrapbooks, nature journals or creative craft projects. With its generous size and beautiful design, this press provides the perfect starting point for botanical creativity.
As part of Studio Wald’s sustainability commitment, one tree is planted with every order, helping restore forests through their Ecologi partnership.
Whether you are preserving blooms from your allotment, documenting seasonal plants or creating botanical artwork, this flower press offers a simple and rewarding way to celebrate nature.
