Devon Seaweed Art Workshops
Join us and learn the correct way to approach seaweed art, combining traditional seaweed pressing techniques with modern creative processes and troubleshooting methods.
Perfect for beginners, art lovers, nature enthusiasts, and families, our Devon seaweed workshops blend creativity, sustainability, and mindfulness. Using responsibly foraged seaweed collected from Devon’s coastline, you’ll learn how to transform natural marine materials into beautiful, lasting works of botanical art.
Guided by Charlotte of The National Seaweed Company (founders of The Devon Seaweed Company), these workshops draw on decades of experience and Victorian-era seaweed pressing techniques passed down through her family. You’ll create your own artwork using either traditional seaweed pressing methods or the striking Cyanotype sun-printing process. No prior experience is required — just curiosity and a love of the natural world.
Why Join a Seaweed Pressing Workshop?
Seaweed pressing is more than an art form — it’s a mindful, eco-conscious practice that connects art, science, and nature. During your workshop, you will:
- Learn how to identify, collect, and press seaweed sustainably
- Create unique pressed seaweed art inspired by Devon’s tidal landscapes
- Gain a deeper appreciation for marine flora and coastal ecosystems
- Enjoy a calming, creative experience rooted in tradition and sustainability
Whether you’re interested in botanical art, eco-friendly crafts, Devon seaweed prints, coastal home décor, or handmade gifts, our workshops offer a truly memorable experience.
What’s Included in Our Seaweed Art Workshops
- Expert guidance in seaweed pressing and Cyanotype printing
- A curated selection of sustainably foraged Devon seaweed
- Your own wooden seaweed press to take home (seaweed pressing workshops)
- Your completed handmade seaweed artwork to keep or gift

We believe there’s little value in learning a craft without the tools to continue it — so you’ll leave with your very own seaweed press to cherish and continue your seaweed pressing journey at home.
