I have been drawn to macrame for years. Many of the skills and projects can and do crossover with natural weaving. But a traditional macrame project with handwoven plant cordage instead of store-bought cotton rope would take a really, really long time to make. Super satisfying but way too long for a workshop.
Insert shredded cattail - now we can make the background curtain in a flash and spending our time adding decorative twining, knotting, beads, braiding and decorations on top!
But why a “trial”? Though I’m confident I can help you be successful, I don’t know exactly how long we’ll need, what decorative skills people will want to learn, and which dried flowers and plant goodies are going to be most popular. (FYI, there are many more decoration options than shown in the example photos. I could have made dozens of these.) To honor a bit of uncertainty and your help in improving the workshop, I’m offering it at a reduced price. Are you up for trying something new?
All workshop materials have been harvest by hand sustainably and responsibly in the Puget Sound.

Class registration is NON-REFUNDABLE. However, if you want to sell or give your spot to a friend, I’m happy to welcome someone else in your place. Due to the nature of the projects (materials/soaking, etc) and the small class sizes, I’m unable to support refunds or credits.
