If you’ve been following our blog posts you might know this week see’s the second round of Macrame with Cath Williams! Last months course was a blast, not only did i come away with samplers, a note book full of hints and tips but also finished making a really cool bright green lampshade! Which after much deliberation is now hanging in my bedroon, clashing nicely with is plaster pink walls (photos to follow). very tasteful indeed.

During the course attendees learn the skills to rejuvenate this ancient craft technique and bring it smack bang up to date. Learning a vast array of knots and technique in each 2 hour class you will build on these skills to produce a step by step project which could be anything froma bag, a top or a lampshade!

Modern Macramé is fun, therapeutic, creative and immensely satisfying! We are biased, but highly recommend it.

For the past month we’ve been running our Macramé  classes under the watchful eye of Macramé extraordinaire Cath Williams. We are all completely hooked! Check out some photos of what we’ve been doing so far.

When most people think of Macramé, they think of the friendship bracelets you spent hours and hours making when you were a teenager! Yet what a lot of people don’t realise is that Macrame is so much more than that! Macramé is an enduring and endearing technique that requires no tools and can be as simple or as incredibly complex as you choose.

During the course you learn the skills to rejuvenate this ancient technique and bring it smack bang up to date. You will learn as many knots as is possible in four weeks and in each 2 hour class you will make step by step projects to use or wear and freestyle to create your own design!

Modern Macramé is fun, therapeutic, creative and immensely satisfying! Our next installment of classes is now up so be sure to book on come and get your knot on!
