Inspired by windswept walks on the Isle of Arran, the Studio Wald Seaweed Press Kit brings a slice of the Scottish coast to your creative projects. Whether you're a curious beachcomber, seasoned seaweed forager or a coastal craft enthusiast, this thoughtfully designed press offers a simple and sustainable way to preserve marine plant treasures.
Crafted with care in the UK, this compact 15 x 15 cm press features maple veneered plywood sourced sustainably and includes everything you need to start pressing seaweed or flowers straight away. Studio Wald have thoughtfully added waxed paper to prevent moisture damage – a crucial upgrade for successfully preserving damp marine finds.
The layered design includes die-cut card and sugar paper in octagonal shapes that allow for airflow and effective pressing. Clear, step-by-step instructions make the process accessible even for beginners, while the laser-cut wooden boards and bolt assembly ensure your specimens are pressed evenly and securely.
Each kit is beautifully packaged in a greyboard envelope box, ready to gift or pack on your next coastal adventure. Assembly is simple, and once complete, you'll have a practical and pretty tool for capturing nature's watery wonders.
This isn’t just a seaweed press – it’s a creative keepsake for shoreline explorers, nature crafters, and anyone who finds joy in the details of the natural world.
