Description

Love house plants? Would love to try macrame? Then this is the workshop for you!

Ideal for total beginners, this three-hour workshop will show you how to make your very own house plant hanger to showcase your favourite plant.

Macrame is a marvellously mindful and relaxing craft and all you need to get going is some cord and a pair of scissors. We will provide the know-how, pot and cord. All you need to do is get knotting!

You will learn the larks head knot, double hitch knot, spiral knot and gathering knot, plus how to add a hanging loop, secure your cords and brush out fringing to finish of your creation.

Tutor Bonita Keay is a passionate crafter and always says making is part of who she is! She started her handmade business journey in 2007 when her children were small and now sells regularly at craft fairs (including our Attenborough Arts Centre fairs!). Bonita is also an experienced tutor, sharing her knowledge, skills and passion with adults and young people, inspiring creativity and wellbeing wherever she goes. She sources all materials ethically and sustainably, supporting other small businesses where possible.

All materials will be provided.

This 3-hour workshop will start at 6pm and end at 9pm.

Participants must be aged 14+. Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult at all times.
