4-week beginners' macramé course

workshop details

From absolute beginner to competent knotter in four weeks with this new macramé course! It’s designed for you whether you have no prior knowledge of macramé or you've done a workshop or two and now would like to really consolidate your skills. We’ll explore the different types of cord, learn the basic knots and their variations, design your project and learn how to calculate the lengths of cord you’ll need. Then you’ll be ready to bring your design to life! By the end of the course you’ll be able to design and create your own macramé pieces. Over the four weeks you’ll be able to work on a larger project than we can fit in a regular workshop, or you can work on multiple smaller pieces – entirely up to you.
