Seaweed Yarn Workshop - Birmingham

You’ll mix, pour, experiment and create your own seaweed-based yarn samples watching a biomaterial form right in front of you! Seaweed Yarn Workshop - Birmingham Join us for a fun and hands-on Seaweed Yarn Workshop where you’ll turn seaweed into yarn right here in Birmingham. 1–2 hours. Small group. Messy hands encouraged. We spend most of our time surrounded by synthetic materials - clothes made from plastic, fabrics designed to last forever and waste that doesn’t disappear. ​ And somewhere underneath all of that, there’s a quiet curiosity: What if materials could grow? What if yarn didn’t come from petroleum… but from the sea? This workshop is designed to let you explore that idea with your own hands. ​ You’ll mix, pour, experiment, and create your own seaweed-based yarn samples watching a biomaterial form right in front of you. No prior experience. No pressure to “get it right.” Just curiosity and making.​ Whether you're a designer, sustainability enthusiast, student, or just biomaterial-curious - you'll find something here for you.
