 Kelp craft is a unique form of handcraft, created by Lorraine Powell. Betty and Bevin have now mastered the art of making decorative hats, figurines and animals out of the bull kelp. They have perfected a special method of drying and manipulating the kelp so that the finished product gives the effect of fashioned leather or ceramics. Their creations are truly unique and the detail and workmanship makes you marvel at the fact that each piece was once little more than a lump of wet seaweed! The kelp craft dries completely odourless after having shrunk considerably from its original size.
