Have you ever wondered how to get started with Macrame? Then this is the perfect event opportunity for you! Learn everything about knots, patterns, cords, supplies, and receive all the best tips & tools for beginners while being taught by our very own RVA art teacher, Ms Tessen.
What is Macrame?
Macrame is considered a fiber art where you tie your cords in a specific series of different knots to create beautiful patterns. It’s believed to have originated with 13th-century Arab weavers before it spread across the globe.
Most people know Macrame from the craze back in the seventies, where many homes were decorated with gorgeous wall hangings and cute macrame planters.
Modern macrame, as some like to call the latest comeback of this popular knotting technique, can be seen anywhere nowadays. From pillow covers at H&M to gorgeous Macrame bags and jewelry pieces on the runway during the NY Fashion Week. Combined with natural elements such as crystals and shells, this newest form of Macrame is here to stay!
When you start off slow and first learn the basic knots, you will quickly notice how easy it actually is to learn Macrame.
Join the RVA and look forward to getting your creativity on in this fun fill RVA Event!
