Arts
An ode to the art of drying flowers.In the latest episode here, available today, I talked to Bex Partridge, a floral artist who you may have come across on instagram as @botanical_tales. She recently published her first book: Everlastings.In this interview she talks about her creative practice in great detail: all aspects of growing, foraging and drying flowers. I asked her what the word everlastings meant to her. What she responded to that question is one of the reasons what makes this episode a great one to listen to! There are lots of gems here in this episode worth hearing.—Bex’s website and InstagramOrder a copy of her book: Everlastings from here.—Recommended books by Bex in this episode:Wilding - Isabella TreeWild about Weeds - Jack Wallington—If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review or share it with a friend.You can find me as @walkinglantern on instagram and on twitter.
