About this event

A unique seaweed pressing workshop hosted by The Seaweed Institute

Join The Seaweed Institute to learn the craft of seaweed pressing – a Victorian practice that captures the underwater beauty of seaweeds.

During the workshop you will learn to recognise and identify local seaweed species. The cultural history of seaweeds will be discussed, as well as its agricultural, scientific and ecological uses. You will learn how to forage, store and use this abundant resource.

After laying out your designs they will be loaded into our seaweed press where they will dry over the next weeks.

You will be able to collect the pieces from our studio at CAST in Helston at a later date or alternatively The Seaweed Institute can post them to you.
