Early Spring Botanical Bas-Relief

Rachel Dein’s exclusive series of bas-reliefs for The Merchant’s Table: Early Spring, Spring and Late Summer. Here is Early Spring, with a beautifully composed collection of flowers, listed below. Rachel Dein specialises in creating botanical art in plaster, work which evolved from the old tradition of nature printing, the technique of using the surface of a natural object to make a print. The cast is hand made from white plaster with a fixing for hanging on the wall.
