Tidepool Guide and Seaweed Papermaker
About Wren Calder
Wren Calder doesn’t just collect seaweed—she reads its scars. After documenting a decades-long shift in intertidal algal composition across Oregon’s Cape Perpetua, Wren began pressing *Porphyra* and *Ulva* not for preservation, but as palimpsests: each sheet of handmade paper embeds spore prints, tidal height markers, and microscopic salt crystals captured at precise lunar phases. Her studio is a converted tide-washed boathouse where pulp vats double as salinity monitors and drying racks hang over shallow basins that mimic natural evaporation zones. She teaches students to identify *Chondrus crispus* not by textbook diagrams, but by how its mucilage thickens differently in winter runoff versus summer upwelling—knowledge passed through finger-stained notebooks, not apps. Her library isn’t on shelves; it’s laminated into translucent sheets you hold up to coastal light, watching chlorophyll patterns shift like tide charts.
