Discover the world of the marine algae under the microscope and through artful preservation techniques. You'll begin with an in-depth overview of phycological diversity and ecological impact, before moving onto hands-on identification of anatomy under the microscope. Then, you will explore the artistic practice of seaweed pressing as you create your own seaweed art to take home.
