I hate to give my age away, but macramé was very big in the day! I think my Mum still has a macramé hanging in her bathroom, over the bath, with a ferny pot plant.
Macramé is a very 'vintage', 'retro' craft that utilises knotting the textile rather than weaving or knitting it. Apparently, once you master the basics, your creations can become quite diversified - from wall hangings to 3D hanging structures that hold things like pots, bowls and plants. (Secretly, I suspect my Mum's age-old macramé might actually fall into the 3D structure - who would have thought!)

Sandy Littlemore, is the facilitator of the
Ladies Night Beginners Macramé Workshop at
Blooming Healthy Studio, and comes well qualified with a Diploma of Training. Sandy also has heaps of other extraordinary skills including Tarot and Angel Readings; Crystal Healing; Shakara Balancing; Reflexology and Kinesiology. Sounds like an evening with Sandy Littlemore could be a very interesting night indeed and surely, further enhanced with a glass of wine, bubbly and some nibbles.
First question is going to be: 'How much?'
The
Ladies Night Beginners Macramé Workshop is $50, which includes a glass of wine or bubbles and nibbles.
Second question is going to be: 'If I attend the macramé Workshop, what can I expect?'
Basic macramé knotting techniques
Guidance to create a fabulous take-home macramé hanger
All materials for your creation are included in the ticket price
Refreshments - wine/bubbles and cheese
Every guest who attends the
Ladies Night Beginners Macramé Workshop will have their very own show-'n-tell piece of macramé art to take home - in this instance a macramé pot hanger - and hopefully loads of inspiration to continue creating more fabulous pieces of macramé art at home.
When we lived in the Netherlands, once a week the 'girls' would get together to have a
'stitch and b..tch' class - i.e. we met for coffee and cake and brought our needlework along to enjoy a morning with friends. I think learning the art of macramé with friends and continuing a 'once-a-week' session in a friend's home, could be as much fun as our 'sewing' classes or the traditional 'Book Club', where more wine is enjoyed than books. What I'm saying is … just think about the creative possibilities … wink, wink, nudge, nudge!
Spaces to this fabulously creative macramé workshop are strictly limited, to ensure that every guest gets adequate tuition plus plenty of time to ask questions and receive feedback.
