Seaweed Pressing Workshop (May)

Seaweed Pressing Workshop

3rd May 2026

Learn the almost forgotten Victorian art of seaweed pressing at this relaxing, creative workshop in Broadstairs

9.30am - 1.30pm

Join Gemila, The Driftweed Artist, at her home in Broadstairs, for this relaxed and creative 4 hour workshop where you will learn how to press a variety of seaweeds and create your own unique pieces of art.

All tools and materials are provided!

You will meet at the venue before taking a short walk down to the beach to forage and collect your 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 giving each participant their own wooden 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!

Venue Details:

The house is located on the corner of North Foreland Avenue and Anne's Road. There is ample free parking outside. There are also local bus services operating nearby.
Apart from the foraging aspect the rest of the activity is seated and there are ground floor toilet facilites on site.
Tea, coffee and squash are provided along with some yummy snacks for the refreshment breaks! Do let Gemila know if you have any specific dietary requirements.
