Venue Workshops

Driftwood Wall Hanging with Nodo Knots

Use your own collected driftwood to make a beautiful Macrame Wall Hanging in this 3 week workshop, taking place on Friday  evenings in August. 

Week 1 you will learn how to tie a lark's head knot, a clove hitch and a square knot and create the start of the natural portion of the hanging.  Participants will then take their work home and complete the section before returning to class the following week.

In Week 2 we will add the spiral knot element (pink in the image), and you will learn how to add and finish the fringes

In Week 3 we will complete the centre panel (beige in the image), using clove hitches and square knots.

The example shown uses a piece of driftwood approximately 90cm long, and the hanging itself measures 60cm x 90cm

Previous experience isn't required for this class, but you will need to be available for all 3 classes, and to have time to complete some work at home before the 2nd and 3rd sessions.

A range of colours of cords will be available, so you can create a wall hanging to suit your home.

If you don't have access to a piece of collected driftwood we can supply one for you!
