Learn how to create clear, beautiful botanical prints with flowers and leaves
— even if you’ve never done it before.
f you’ve been drawn to botanical printing but felt unsure where to start, you’re in the right place.
Maybe you’ve wondered:
🪴 Which plants actually give good prints
🪴 What fabric you should use
🪴 Why some prints look clear and defined — and others barely show up
🪴 How anyone figures this out without wasting time or precious materials
You don’t want to guess.
You don’t want to feel lost.
You want clear guidance that makes sense from the very beginning.
The Art of Botanical Printing is a step-by-step course designed specifically for beginners and advanced beginners who want to understand the process, feel confident, and get good results.
You will not be left guessing
This course starts at the beginning — and stays clear the entire way through.
I will guide you step by step through the tried-and-true basics of botanical printing, with clear explanations and simple tools.
You’ll learn:
🪴 Which plants consistently give clear prints
🪴 How to recognize strong printing plants versus weak ones
🪴 Which fabrics work best and how to prepare them properly
🪴 What tools you actually need (and what you don’t)
🪴 How to place plants so prints are readable and intentional
🪴 How moisture, pressure, and timing affect results
🪴 What to look for while printing so you know you’re on the right track
🪴 How to reconnect with nature and your inner creative with this meditative practice
Every technique is taught in a clear order, so you always know what to do next and why it matters.
You’ll never be told to “just trust the process” without understanding it.
A complete guide
you can follow
— and return to
Alongside the lessons, you’ll receive a 35-page detailed guide, written in plain, easy-to-understand language.
This guide walks you through the entire process step by step — the kind of resource I wish I had when I started.
You can:
🪴 Follow it as you work
🪴 Use it to check your steps
🪴 Return to it whenever you need a reminder
It’s designed to support you so you never feel lost or unsure.
You’ll learn how to
save a piece
— even if a print is
faint or unclear
One of the biggest fears beginners have is wasting fabric.
Inside The Art of Botanical Printing, you’ll learn how to problem-solve creatively, so a faint or imperfect print doesn’t mean starting over or throwing anything away.
You’ll learn what to do when a piece doesn’t print as clearly as you hoped, including:
🪴 How to assess why a print is faint
🪴 What adjustments you can make before printing again
🪴 When and how to reprint on the same fabric
🪴 How to layer plants intentionally to build clarity
🪴 How to work back into a piece instead of discarding it
You’ll understand which issues come from:
🪴 plant choice
🪴 fabric preparation
🪴 moisture levels
🪴 pressure or contact
—and what specific actions correct each one.
This means you’re not guessing, panicking, or wasting materials.
You’ll learn how to slow down, read the fabric, and make informed decisions — so even unexpected results become part of the process, not a failure.
By the end of the course, you’ll know how to rescue a piece, refine it, and move forward with confidence.
You will
work on
real,
usable
projects
This course goes beyond small samples.
By the end, you will have printed on both small and large pieces of fabric, including:
🪴 Practice pieces for testing plants
🪴 Larger fabric pieces for full designs
🪴 Garden t-shirts
🪴 Button-up shirts
🪴 Socks
🪴 Silk scarves
You’ll learn how to adapt the same techniques across different fabrics and sizes — so you feel confident printing on real items you can wear, gift, or keep.
You will also learn
design
— something most
courses don’t teach
Most botanical printing classes focus only on technique.
This course also teaches the art of design applied to botanical printing — a skill that makes a dramatic difference in how finished work looks.
You’ll learn how to:
🪴 Arrange plants intentionally
🪴 Create balance and movement on fabric
🪴 Avoid overcrowded or confusing layouts
🪴 Use negative space effectively
🪴 Design prints that feel thoughtful and finished
This is where botanical printing becomes art, not just a process.
Why you can trust this course
Hi, I’m Janné. I’ve been botanical printing for four years, refining this process through hands-on practice and study.
My botanical work recently received Best in Show at the Juried Milford Art Affaire
After teaching art to children ages 4–11 for 30 years, I know how to break complex processes into clear, step-by-step guidance.
That teaching experience shapes everything in this course.
I don’t assume you already know things.
I don’t overload you with information.
I explain what to do, how to do it, and why it works — clearly and directly.
The science is explained simply
— and used immediately
Botanical printing does involve science, and it matters.
In this course, the science is explained in plain language, then immediately applied.
You’ll understand what’s actually happening — and how to use it
Why plants release color
You’ll learn which plants naturally contain pigments and tannins that transfer onto fabric, and how heat, moisture, and contact help that color move from the plant into the cloth. Instead of guessing, you’ll know which plants are worth using and which ones won’t give clear results.
Why fabric choice matters
You’ll learn how natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, and wool accept color differently, and why some fabrics hold plant impressions clearly while others don’t. You’ll also learn how proper fabric preparation makes a noticeable difference in how prints turn out.
What causes faint or unclear prints
You’ll learn the most common reasons prints come out light or blurry — including plant selection, fabric prep, moisture levels, and how tightly the bundle is wrapped. You’ll be shown what to look for so you can quickly identify what needs to change.
How to adjust your process to improve results
You’ll learn specific, practical adjustments you can make — such as changing plant placement, adding moisture, adjusting pressure, or reprinting on the same fabric — so you can strengthen a print instead of starting over or wasting material.
Nothing is taught without context.
Nothing is taught just to sound technical.
You learn it so you can use it with confidence.
