Turn fresh flowers and leaves into beautiful botanical prints—no drawing, painting, or printmaking experience needed. This calm, step-by-step course teaches complete beginners how to create clearer, more detailed flower hammering (also called flower pounding) prints on paper.
Digital course only. A hammer, paper, flowers, and other physical materials are not included.
Learn with HammerFlower founder Daria Volokhova as she guides you from your first flower to layered compositions and finished projects. You’ll discover how your choice of plant, paper, placement, and pressure changes each print—and how to troubleshoot muddy or unclear results.
Perfect for:
- Complete beginners and curious hobby crafters
- Anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-connected creative practice
- Makers who want to create cards, keepsakes, journals, or botanical wall art
What you’ll need: A regular flat-head hammer (8–10 oz recommended), 140 lb (300 gsm) watercolor paper, fresh flowers or leaves, a protective cover, a sturdy work surface, a towel, and a heavy book for drying.
What you’ll learn:
- How to choose simple tools, paper, and protective materials
- Which flowers and leaves print best, plus safe plant-handling basics
- How to place botanicals and apply the right pressure for cleaner prints
- Techniques for flat, dimensional, round, white, and delicate flowers
- How to print woody leaves, delicate leaves, and conifers
- How to layer and balance small and large botanical compositions
- How to dry, flatten, preserve, and care for your finished prints
- Ways to use your prints for cards, gifts, journals, and artwork

Trying to get the technique down….
Previous lesson and art time I had so much fun and satisfaction with. Thanks!
Loved all the detail. Thankyou.
Absolutely loved this course. Easy to follow, lots of great advice - I was hammering away before I knew it!
Excellent guide for all you need to know to start flower hammering, highly recommend!
Cours très clair et richement illustré. Explications bien détaillées. Les supports vidéo sont un plus importants. Les exemples de martelage donnent de bonnes idées. Ca ne donne envie que du chose ... commencer ! :-) Merci pour ce joli cours. Corinne
very informative and easy to understand
Merci c'est conforme à mes attentes !!! Je recommande sans réserve
Molto chiaro, ben strutturato, facile da seguire e anche economico!
It was good, I've learnt so much and cant wait to start doing it. I thought outlining the prints with pen/pencil will be explained also, other than that I loved it
I am looking forward to using these skills this summer when my flowers are blooming.
Thank you for such clear and detailed instruction. I have been able to make cards for Easter with primroses, scilla and anemones. The young bramble leaves work brilliantly too. I am looking forward to experimenting throughout the year. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge.
Thank you for the detailed instruction. I have happily made cards for Easter with primroses, scilla and anemones. The wild bramble/blackberry young leaves work well too. I am looking forward to experimenting throughout the year. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I love it! Such detail and the videos are great. 👍
Great learning resource
Very explanatory. Can’t wait to try.
Thank you for a fun new craft!
So informative and insightful, I feel much better about giving flower hammering a go after this course :)
Excellent and clear presentation. Very thoughtful, informative, and through. Your approach is relaxing and pleasant to watch. Also, there are no really expensive supplies needed. I already have everything I need to get started! I really liked that there was no extra music, talking, lecturing, or long explanations. I learned a lot in relatively short time. I can't wait to go outside and find some flowers and leaves to hammer! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for all the effort & advice that has gone into this. 🌸
I just spent a wonderful rainy day inside learning how to hammer flowers and can't wait to get started! I live in San Antonio, Texas on 3 acres and I'm looking forward to walking around and trying the many flowers and leaves in this art. Thank you for sharing this technique with others!
A good introduction to pounding
I’ve only hammered a handful of pansies, so far. But, by the 6th one, I did OK! I’m amazed. I’ll keep plugging away. Thanks!
Het is geweldig! Ik heb al tientallen kaarten gemaakt met allerlei bloemen en bladeren. Heb al van alles geprobeerd en ik ben bijna elke dag even bezig met hameren. En inderdaad, ik kijk nu heel anders naar bloemen. Een geweldig mooie hobby.
