Magnificent Maerl: A Creative Family Workshop on Marine Life

Add to List

Introduction

Join artist Julia Barton for Magnificent Maerl: Family Workshop, a hands-on creative experience for children (6+) and their accompanying adults. Discover maerl, a rare pink, coral-like seaweed that supports hundreds of marine species, and explore its intricate forms through observation, paints, and pastels. Participants will also craft cardboard marine creatures—including crabs, scallops, flame shells, sea cucumbers, and fish—to inhabit their maerl habitats. Bring thin cardboard if you have it! This workshop connects families to coastal ecology through art, sparking curiosity, creativity, and appreciation for the hidden wonders of our marine environment.
