This collection of miniature botanical intaglios was created by artist Katy Eccles using a selection of seasonal flowers consisting of ammi, cosmos, listhianthus, sweetpeas, flowering currant, snowdrops, salvia, kangaroo paw, daisies and Japanese Anemones. Each intaglio is crafted through a unique casting technique that captures the delicate imprint of botanical forms.
Katy Eccles is the artist behind Imprint Casts, she creates botanical plaster artworks by pressing flowers and objects into clay, capturing their delicate impressions and preserving them as permanent forms. Her practice is rooted in the close observation of nature, inspired by her mother’s remarkable garden in Fife. This early influence fostered a lifelong respect for the natural world that continues to shape her work. Alongside this, Katy’s background in Art History, specialising in 18th-century English art and architecture, brings a deep appreciation of classical sculpture, intaglios, and architectural ornament. By merging this language of historical plasterwork with botanical forms, she reinterprets an ancient craft for a contemporary context.
