Learn the almost forgotten Victorian art of seaweed pressing in this 4 hour workshop. Produce several pieces of art to take home and frame.
10:30am - 2:30pm
Join Gemila, The Driftweed Artist, at this relaxed and creative workshop to learn how to press a variety of seaweeds to create your own unique pieces of art.
All tools and materials are provided!
You will meet at the venue at 10.30am before taking a short walk down to the beach to collect our specimens for pressing. Gemila will guide you through the process of sustainably collecting seaweeds and help you to identify the best specimens. Back at the venue she will share the basic skills for successful seaweed pressing.
Seaweed pressing, like flower pressing can take a while so Gemila will be gifing each participant their own press so that the pressing process can be completed at home (this can take several weeks, seaweed dependent). Once completed your artwork will be ready to frame and gift!
Places are limited to 8 people and the activity is suitable for adults and children aged 8+ (with a fully participating adult).
