Seaweed Foraging and Artists Talk
with Jemima Hall

Meet at An Tobar 10.15am for setting off at 10.30am

In our three-hour seaweed foraging walk we will explore the Isle of Mull coastline along the Lighthouse Path in Tobermory. Jemima will introduce you to many delicious and strange seaweeds. We will discuss their folklores and histories, their medicinal qualities, how to correctly identify them and how to eat them. You will learn how to forage consciously, sustainably, and safely. Some of the seaweeds we might find are bladderwrack, eggwrack, siphonwrack, channel wrack, carrageen moss, coralweed, gutweed, kelp and sealettuce.

Bring along a long stick or walking stick, a pair of scissors and a bag or small basket. And after, take a visit to Jemima's ongoing exhibition at the An Tobar Gallery Seaweed Shelter!

Tickets are Pay What You Decide:

£15 per adult with Pay What You Decide tickets of £5, £10 or £15, and £5 for under 16s.

A max of 15 participants so please book early for the seaweed foraging.

Plus, artist Jemima Hall will host a Q&A and artists talk from 2.30pm-3.30pm about her current exhibition at An Tobar Gallery, Seaweed Shelter / Fasgadh Feamad. Learn about Jemima's recent expeditions that brought the work for this exhibition into realisation, the development and method of her art practice, and her research into the role of seaweed within experimental architecture, natural building techniques and ethnobotany. Exploring our understanding of abundance, the habitable and our notions of periphery, Jemima takes us deeper into our coastline. No booking required.
