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

What’s included:

  • About 3 hours of self-paced instruction
  • 5 modules and 20 step-by-step lessons
  • 16 video tutorials with captions
  • 50+ photo examples
  • Saved progress across phone, tablet, and desktop
  • One-time purchase with lifetime access—no subscription

How access works: After checkout, we’ll email your course access details to the address used for your purchase. Learn at your own pace and return whenever you want a refresher or new seasonal inspiration.

Written lessons and captions for all 16 videos are available in 29 languages: English, Belarusian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong), Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Turkish, and Ukrainian.

Thank you for such clear and detailed instruction

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.

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.

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!

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.
