Learn how to identify and press local seaweed species.

Seaweed Pressing Workshop, St Mawes Millennium Room

Join us 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 ecology and cultural history of seaweeds will be discussed. We will visit the beach and then return to the Millennium Room to get pressing. You will finish the workshop with your own seaweed artwork to take home with you.
