Festive Macrame: Snowflakes
Go along and learn more about macrame, the art of knotting and a craft that many people find very mindful. You will learn 4 different types of knots as you create a snowflake decoration. You will use natural cord with a splash of silver or gold for an extra sparkly touch.
Their Master Maker Katherine Lloyd will guide you through the session to ensure you have something beautifully hand crafted to take home with you. This will make a perfect Christmas gift or a wonderful addition to your own festive decorations.
All materials included. Plus enjoy a warm cup of mulled wine & a mince pie while you make.
Suitable for adults, no previous experience needed.
