Macramé Feather Keychain Wristlet Workshop

Macrame is not as intimidating as it looks. Start with a small DIY project like a keychain and get familiar with the basic macrame knots and techniques. In this workshop, we’ll go over a beginner-friendly keychain wristlet with a feather pattern using the 4 basic knots of macrame: the Double Half Hitch knot, the Square knot, the Lark’s Head knot and the Gathering knot.

Workshops are recommended for people ages 12 and over. Children under 12 years old are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. Please get a ticket for each person (incl. all children).

The workshop is pay what you can! Suggested $20 - $30 to support facilitator fees and supplies.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

My name is Nicole, co-founder of Bochiknot and a self-taught macrame artist. Several years ago, I went searching for the perfect decor piece for my home and little did I know the fibre wall hangings I loved were called macrame. Bochiknot came about through my love of boho chic fashion and décor as well as my passion for knotting and everything about it. My ultimate goal is to inspire and to be inspired through teaching macrame. You'll find step-by-step DIY macrame tutorials by Bochiknot on Instagram, Youtube and Patreon.
