Frequently asked questions
Do I need prior experience to begin?
No. Our beginner path introduces essential plant anatomy, pressing technique, and label basics. You can start with household weights and upgrade tools over time.
What materials are required?
We list materials for each course. Core items include blotting paper, boards, breathable straps, pH‑neutral adhesive, and cotton gloves. We provide brand‑agnostic recommendations.
How do you address ethical gathering?
We teach legal compliance, garden partnerships, and minimal impact methods. Many projects use cultivated plants or clippings to avoid wild harvesting.
Are courses self‑paced or live?
Most modules are video‑based and self‑paced. We run periodic live critiques and small cohorts for deeper feedback.
Do you offer a certificate?
Yes. Completing designated modules grants a studio certificate of completion. It is educational, not a professional license.
How long do I retain access?
Video modules include lifetime access and updates. Live sessions provide recordings for 12 months unless stated otherwise.
Is there feedback on my work?
We offer community critique prompts and optional portfolio reviews in select courses and cohorts.
Do you ship materials?
We do not sell physical kits. We provide sourcing lists and alternatives by region so you can buy locally.
