Seaweed Pressing Workshop

Learn the art of seaweed pressing with local artist Molly Macleod, to create unique botanical artworks!

You will be guided on how to collect and identify your own seaweed specimens, before learning how to preserve them for a lifetime in beautiful, archival quality pressings.

During this half-day (3 hr) workshop we will forage for specimens at Caerfai Beach, followed by learning the art of pressing and preserving your specimens at The Really Wild Emporium. Dive into the history of this favoured Victorian hobby whilst learning how seaweed can shape our future.
