I love showing people the unique process of creating art with seaweed! Historically, this art form was popular during the Victorian era when people summered on the New England coast, and has direct ties to Newport. A Marine Botanical is created in a similar way to flower pressing but native seaweed is used in this process. You will be making two pressings that can be framed and hung in your home once the drying process is complete.
I host both public and private workshops and presentations including; Seaweed Pressing, The History of Seaweed Art, Seaweed & Cyanotype and Seaweed & Eco Printing.
