Hello. We are Keith + Rachel
We met in 2015 at a meetup that was put on by the school Rachel was currently in. Short story is Keith went for the free pizza, Rachel liked the socks Keith was wearing, a coffee date ensued where Keith order a milkshake instead of coffee but got two straws (he then found out Rachel was off dairy), and the rest is history.
Our pressed flower adventure started in 2020 with flowers grown in our backyard urban garden in Denver, CO. Our attention to detail and creativity organically morphed into the business we now call, Flower Press Studio.
Flower Press Studio allows us to get outside in the garden, get more involved with a local community of makers, florists, and flower farmers, and to express our authenticity using organic materials grown from our mother Earth.
Each year, we collaborate with beautiful, independently owned flower farms that serve their local communities. We preserve their seasonal blooms in the form of pressed flower art. We now reside in the agriculturally rich North Fork Valley in Paonia, CO with our cat, Ivy. When we aren’t pressing flowers, we are working on our land, fixing up our log cabin, and trying to enjoy everything these Colorado mountains have to offer.
Our Studio
We began pressing flowers in our Denver home within a 10' x 10' room. With two old, lunchroom style craft tables, a wire shelf, we began. Eventually we replaced the tables for standing desks to save Keith's back. After we grew out of that, we moved to our basement. In 2024, we moved to Paonia, a rural town in the North Fork Valley of Colorado. Here we now have a studio in the upstairs of our home which gets tons of natural light which of course is so much better for creating than in a dark basement. :).
