Workshop: The Art of Seaweed

Talk & Demo - about a year ago I started seaweed pressing, I was truly fascinated by this Victorian craft. With a love of natural forms this was a perfect way to get me out of the studio making art from natures treasure.

When I show people my seaweed pressings they always think they’re prints and not actually the real thing, it’s mind blowing how they can be preserved in such a beautiful way.

To find out more about this Victorian past time join me on board Lady Daphne a 101 year old badge in Charlestown Harbour, where I will be talking and demonstrating the art of seaweed pressing.

It will also be a chance to see some of my products on sale.

This event will be standing. After the event you are welcome to stay around, we have a fully licensed bar on board. All ages welcome.

Price includes all materials

20% of all sale goes towards the upkeep of Lady Daphne.
