FORAGE & PRESS
An exploration of preserving the ephemeral beauty of the natural world. Forage & Press is a botanical art and design studio specializing in original pressed-flower artwork and nature-inspired home goods. Based iN Camden, Maine. The business creates fine art, licensed products, and wholesale collections for retailers, galleries, and brand partners. Every piece is rooted in thoughtful craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and a deep connection to place.
THE WORK
Every project begins outdoors.
Flowers, foliage, and other botanicals are responsibly gathered from gardens, trails, fields, and forests before being carefully pressed and preserved by hand. These ephemeral materials become original works of art, then evolve into a growing collection of home goods, textiles, and licensed products.
The work sits between fine art and functional design. Each collection reflects the character of a particular place or season, embracing the subtle imperfections, shifting colors, and individuality of the plants themselves.
STILL GROWING
Forage & Press is expanding beyond original artwork into workshops, interior collaborations, licensing, and thoughtfully designed home collections. A studio in Camden provides space not only for making, but also for teaching, collaboration, and community.
The goal isn't simply to grow the business. It's to find new ways for people to experience botanical art in their everyday lives while remaining rooted in sustainability, curiosity, and a deep respect for the landscape.
THE OVERLAP
Dialogue? Projects works alongside Forage & Press on strategy, operations, and long-term growth.
Increasingly, the two practices are finding opportunities to intersect—from workshops and educational programming to collaborative events and future hospitality concepts. Though distinct, both are guided by the same belief: that meaningful work begins with paying close attention—to people, to place, and to the process itself.
