Hand pressed seaweed art from Cornwall

Discover original pressed seaweed art from Cornwall, inspired by the beautiful coastline of Falmouth. Each piece is carefully hand-pressed using locally foraged seaweed, creating delicate, one of a kind botanical artworks that capture the beauty of the sea.

Whether you’re looking for a unique piece of coastal art for your walls, a meaningful gift, or a creative experience, Real Pressed Seaweed Company brings together art, nature and mindfulness.

Unique Cornish Seaweed artwork

All of our artworks are created by hand using seaweed collected along the shores of Falmouth and surrounding Cornish coastline. The natural forms, colours and textures of each specimen make every piece completely unique.

Pressed seaweed art has a long history, dating back to Victorian botanical collections, we continue this tradition with a contemporary minimalist style designed for modern homes.

Perfect for:

  • Coastal home decor

  • Nature inspired interiors

  • Thoughtful and sustainable gifts

  • Collectors of botanical art

Inspired by the coast of Falmouth

We are lucky enough to live in Falmouth, Cornwall, surrounded by an ever-changing marine landscape. The tides, seasons and weather all influence the seaweed we find, so no two artworks are ever the same.

This deep connection to place makes each piece a small reflection of Cornwall’s natural beauty.
