Coastal Creations
Swamp
6 - 10 PM

• How did a “feminine” Victorian era craft become a window to our changing oceans? In the 1870s, women weren’t allowed to swim in the ocean, so they got creative: Pressed seaweed art emerged as a way to enjoy the coast, and now give us glimpses of the state of our oceans over a hundred years ago. Join the Museum of Craft and Design and try a modern rendition of this artform yourself by making seaweed print art with DIY block printed tote bags.

Unladylike Collections
