Spring/Summer 2019 Workshop Series
Expanding Macramé: Taking Your Macramé Practice To The Next Level with instructor Emily Katz
Expand on your knowledge of macramé and take your process to the next level. We will explore macra-weave techniques, working with color, macramé as sculpture, and utilizing different sizes and weights of rope, yarn and other non conventional materials. Get inspired by the scenery of the Washington Coast and design a piece that takes you out of your comfort zone. The workshop will begin with a circle and intention setting, followed by drawing out our ideas for our projects. If participants want to make a project from our book, Emily will guide you to get started. We will pause for a healthy lunch, and continue working on our pieces into the afternoon.
