Macrame Workshop - Create your own decorative feather wall hanging

Overview of Course

Create your own handmade macrame feather wall hanging from macrame cord. Macrame is the art of knotting string or cord in patterns to make decorative and practical items.

You will make three feathers to hang on a wooden dowel using simple knots.

What will I learn?

During this course you will learn how to make three feathers using a reef knot for the loop, a simple knot for the feather and a larks head knot to attach the pieces to a wooden dowel. You will make one cream feather and have a choice between two further colours for the other two feathers.

Who is the course for?

No experience is necessary as you will be taught the knots and techniques. If you have experience of macrame then you are welcome to join in the relaxed environment to expand your creativity. You just need a space to hang your new creation.

The course is aimed for anyone who would like to make something a little different for their home or even to give as a gift.

Will I have to provide anything?

All macrame cord will be provided in the course price. You will also need fabric scissors, or sharp scissors for trimming and a comb for brushing out the fringing. Fixing spray such as starch spray or hairspray is optional.

Am I ready to start?

If you would like to learn a new craft or expand your macramé skills and creativity then this course is for you.
