Based in South London, JamJar is a floral design studio and a contemporary flower pressing studio with a curated edit of artwork and homewares. JamJar's book, The Modern Flower Press, is the go-to guide for pressing flowers in the 21st Century.
The moment a flower is cut it has only a few days to live; by pressing a flower we are extending its life exponentially – we have, in a way, helped it to escape its inevitable fate.
A chance commission from Mulberry to press flowers for their SS15 show invitations inspired us to explore and ultimately reinvent the traditional craft of flower pressing. We press plant species through the seasons; we grow our own, source from British growers, and repurpose event flowers returning to the JamJar Flowers studio to minimise waste.
Our studio is piled high with flower presses; we maintain an ever-evolving archive of pressings at our London studio, from which we create one-off pieces or curated collections of botanicals.
We have recently introduced a new collection, with pressed specimens mounted onto an earthy palette of bitter chocolate, rust and parchment with accents of blue, alongside our classic pieces mounted on white. All of our artworks are handmade and framed at our London studio. As well as our ready-to-buy pieces, we work on commissions for residential and commercial projects.
Our curated edit offers everything you need to start growing, arranging and pressing flowers at home, as well as handcrafted pieces by some of our favourite botanically inspired artists.
