‘Let’s Get Knotty with Macrame!’ Workshop

Let’s get all knotty! Come along to this brand new, fun workshop with Siobhan and make your very own macrame flower keychain, bag strap AND a hanging plant pot holder! Yes, you’ll make several projects all in one day (and will likely have the urge to create even more!).These are great projects that are easy to complete at home, once you know how, and make beautiful handmade gifts too. Siobhan will show you all the steps, tips and tricks to get wonderfully even knots every time. We’ll have many quality Australian braided cord colours to choose from for your keychains, plus all the neutral cord needed to create your own indoor plant pot holder. You’ll receive guided notes and pictures to help you in class and at home. You can even bring your pot plant to class to ensure you create that perfect fit (max 20cm diameter).

Extra Information Regarding COVID/Illness: We ask that you remember that we are a small business run by someone with chronic illnesses. Many of our visitors are also immune compromised. Please do not visit the studio if you are unwell in any way. Thank you for your understanding. Why Do a Workshop with Us? Here’s what makes us different from other creative spaces. All our Tutors are experienced in teaching and have many years of experience working with their respective mediums/in their field of expertise – for most of our tutors this is over 15 years experience. Our workshop sizes are always small with usually no more than 12 students. We provide a friendly, inviting space and cater for many challenges you may face (health issues, food intolerances, anxiety, etc, etc.). Many of our students (and some of our tutors) suffer from chronic illness and have special needs. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to Dani who will do her best to help you out; We use only high quality materials/products in our workshops and myself and our Tutors are familiar with how these work and can give you accurate information/answers to your questions; Students are able to browse our 1500+ products and purchase if they wish to either before, during or after their workshop; We offer payment plan options on most workshops as we understand that finances can be tight (please email if you’d like to take advantage of this); We are fully insured and there is always someone on site who has a Level 2 first aid qualification and asthma management training. All tutors who are working with children have current, valid Working with Children Checks. We offer ‘after workshop’ support for all our students. Students can ask questions of our tutors and refresh any information they need to after the workshop via email, phone or in our Facebook group especially for students. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to seeing you at the Studio very soon!
