“Students will be introduced to the art of Macrame! The workshop will teach the untrained fingers the art of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting. Students will leave with a wall hanging approximately 15″ x 28″ suspended from a wooden dowel. The wall hanging will incorporate the following knots: Larks Head, Vertical Larks Head, Double Half Hitch, Square Knot and Switch Square knot. A packet, demonstrating the process of each knot, will be handed out to the students to keep so they can continue developing their knotting skills.
