Seascape Wall Hanging Macramé Workshop
Southern Maltings
Wed 29th May 2024
10am
Summer is nearly here (honest!) and with that we bring you a wonderful, swimmingly creative Macramé Workshop.
Becky has split the workshop into two parts that can be worked together or separately.
Today's workshops focus on practicing all the basic (and some not so basic) macramé knots for a skills uplift!
In this morning workshop, our young artists will learn and revise a number of basic macramé knots to create a beautiful Seascape Wall Hanging which will be adorned with wooden sea themed beads.
Our knots for the day will be the Larkshead Knot, the Square Knot, the Alternating Square Knot, the Spiral Knot, a half hitch knot and an alternating half Hitch Knot and a Gathering Falls Knot!
This sea themed hanging will look wonderful on a bedroom or bathroom wall. Whether this decoration is for keeps to go in your room, on a door or to give to a friend, it will make anyone who sees it smile.
In our afternoon macramé session you will learn the knots and techniques to make a beautiful mermaid keychain. The mermaid can be attached to the Seascape Hanging for extra visual effect or can be taken off and attached to a bag, purse, door (the list is endless!)
Kits containing all the twine and accessories needed are included in the price. Workshop attendees with walk out with a gorgeous sea themed wall hanging.
Grab a couple of mates, enjoy a full day of mindful craft or just a couple of hours, and take away some beautiful macramé decorations for yourself or gifts for your friends and family.
