Date: October 4th - 10:00am-4:30pm
Level: Beginner-Intermediate
Description: This class is designed to introduce the student to the essential knots and techniques required to create beautiful micro-macramé jewelry. The emphasis will be on “Cavandoli”, or tapestry knotting, which is a style of macramé that resembles tapestry weaving. We will discuss the various cords and materials, incorporating beads with the knotwork, and proper knotting techniques. The student will begin with a practice sampler of basic knots, then work on a bookmark or a pair of earrings in the second part of the class. The instructor’s required kit will include detailed instructions and knot diagrams, practice cord, and materials for a bookmark. An additional earring kit may be purchased separately. The student must provide their own macramé board, sewing pins, embroidery needle, and scissors.
