Nature printing is an ancient art form that takes objects in nature and, through the use of a wide variety of techniques, transfers the beauty of those objects into art. The Nature Printing Society is the largest, international organization existing solely for the purpose of promoting and encouraging nature printing. We help disseminate educational materials and support acquaintance and cooperation both among our members and with the general public. We encourage publication of articles about nature printing, demonstrations of printing, teaching of printing classes, and organization of displays, exhibits, and shows of nature printing.  Membership in NPS includes our beautiful quarterly newsletter as well as an opportunity to attend our annual week-long conference held each year in a different location.
