2 reviews for Lift Your Mood with Macrame
If you think that Macrame is all hanging baskets, then think again!
Katherine Nelson has a background in Developmental Psychology, and she explains that there is scientific evidence to support the claims that creative activities can relieve stress, enhance brain function, boost your mood, and improve mental health.
Also, Macrame is enjoying a renaissance. Designers such as Jimmy Choo and Esteban Cortazar and the model Kate Moss are bringing back Macrame, working it into belts, bags and sandals!
During this workshop you will learn a little bit of history behind the art form and a look into the deeper significance of the Tree of Life.
Katherine will then take you step by step through the three simple knots at the heart of Macrame, to produce a Tree of Life wall hanging. Add a few more basic knots and the applications and creations are endless.
So, not only will you leave her workshop feeling more relaxed, you will also leave with a beautiful finished piece of Macrame that you can display and take pride in or gift to a friend or family member.
This course is suitable for beginners upwards and all materials and equipment will be provided as well as the usual tea and delicious home-made cakes.
This course accommodates 8 people.
