I’ll be setting sailcloth aside for a day as I host the super-talented, Mary Chatowsky Jameson from Saltwater Studio for our first seaweed pressing workshop! Come by yourself, enroll with a friend, or gift a session to someone you know loves the ocean and the stunning botanical diversity that lives there.

We are offering a Morning (10am-1pm) and Afternoon Session (2-5pm). Click on this link to pick the morning session: https://hoistawaybags.com/home-garden/marine-botanical-seaweed-pressing-workshop-jan-25-2020-10am-1pm

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.

In addition to learning a bit more about seaweed you’ll leave with the following:

• 2 pressings you created with your own hands from seaweed Mary has gathered (one small, one large).  

• A portfolio containing both of your seaweed collage pressings.  

• Instructions on how to continue the drying process started in the workshop.

• Recommended framing options after your pressings have completely dried.

Looking forward to having you join us and guiding your creative visions using seaweed! Seating is limited as we look to create an intimate and fun experience for all. Such a fun thing to do with friends to kick off the new year!
