macramé workshop

with Monika Lachne

at Loop of the Loom - DUMBO

We invite a macrame artist from Costa Rica to have a special workshop this spring something that we want to learn and is one of the items we definitely want this summer. Hosted by macrame weaving expert, Monika Lachner, you will create a macrame hanging chair from scratch, learning two of the basic knots in macrame. Also, basic concepts of calibration, how to start a project, macrame basic concepts, etc. This is a day-long project, so be prepared for some serious Macrame-ing!

Hours:

10:30am - 5:30pm
The actual workshop time will be 4-5 hours but depends on your skills and pace.

Size:

  • Chair: 20" wide x 15" height* + fringes + hanging rope

Note:

  • The chair height won’t cover an adult’s back but can easily hold it.
