Lauren is the owner and preservation artist at Honest Bloom Studio, a botanical art and floral preservation studio in Spencer Township, Ohio. With years of experience as a graphic designer, flower farmer, and pressed‑flower preservation artist, she brings a deep understanding of design, nature, and craftsmanship to every workshop she teaches.

She creates small, hands‑on micro‑workshops for 6–8 guests, offering a calm, welcoming space to explore pressed‑flower art, bas‑relief casting, cyanotype printmaking, ink relief printmaking, dried‑flower design, crepe paper flower making, painting, and seasonal botanical projects. All workshops are beginner-friendly and held at her home studio, where classes are never canceled due to low attendance.

Lauren loves creating community and getting to know the guests who join her workshops. She enjoys seeing familiar faces return throughout the seasons and strives to offer a space people want to come back to again and again. She believes everyone deserves the chance to make art and to enjoy meaningful pauses from the busy lives we all lead.
