Mara Ellison
Founding tutor
Mara develops lessons around field observation and the useful discipline of a well-kept notebook.
About the atelier
A studio for paying attention.
Mossfield Atelier began as a shared table where field notes, fallen leaves, and unfinished questions could sit together. We now create structured courses for people who want to understand the craft behind a considered herbarium page.
Our mission
We make botanical craft education clear, ethical, and approachable. Lessons focus on observation, responsible sourcing, preservation, and visual communication so learners can develop a practice that belongs to them.
Our method
Each course moves from context to demonstration to a manageable project. We favor honest materials lists, specific vocabulary, and room for revision over spectacle or urgency.
