macramé jam jar vase workshop

workshop details

A beginner-friendly workshop upcycling a humble jam jar with a macramé covering into a functional piece of cosy home décor. You can use as it as a pretty vase or a pot for make-up brushes, for example, or how about filling it with some led lights for a unique garden lamp? After the workshop, you’ll have all the skills to make a host of them for long, lazy summer evenings outdoors! You’ll learn the five basic knots that are the foundation of macramé. Once you know these, you can let your imagination run wild, creating your own designs. They’d look great as wedding table décor as well, if you’re having a boho-chic theme, and it’s a great activity for a hen do or to do with your wedding party. This workshop is also suitable for improvers and, for confident knotters, there will be plenty of scope to let loose on your own design. Materials are all included. I’ll guide you with step by step instructions and you’ll make at least one macramé jam jar vase. If time permits, you’ll be able to start on another which you can take to finish at home. The group is limited to six participants so that I can give everyone individual attention and make sure you take home a finished piece that you’re proud of. The workshop will be seated. If you have any questions about accessibility, please do get in touch. The cord we use for this workshop is thinner than that we use for plant hangers and a certain amount of manual dexterity is needed. Please note the minimum age for this workshop is 16.
