What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and receive a brief introduction to macramé basics—the fundamental knots that form the foundation of the craft. The instructor demonstrates each technique on a sample cord before you begin working with your own materials. Over the next couple of hours, you'll methodically tie knots, adjusting tension and spacing to build your pot holder's pattern. It's repetitive but meditative work; expect to chat with other participants and take breaks if needed. By the end, you'll have a finished, usable piece of knotted textile ready to protect surfaces at home.
