History of Seaweed Art

History of Seaweed Art

Seaweed pressing was a popular art form during the Victorian era when people summered on the coast. Seaweed was admired for its beauty and pressed into scrapbooks with other mementos like poetry, watercolors & anything that was a happy reminder of their experience. After seeing some of these scrapbooks I was compelled to explore this process and use seaweed as a medium in my work.
