Event Overview

Summer is in full swing so join us for the perfect Chicago evening of wine and Macrame Dreamcatchers!

For this special workshop, I am partnering up with Emily from Havlan & West in Chicago. Emily invites us into her beautifully curated shop in Bucktown for a lovely evening filled with shopping, dreamcatchers, wine, snacks and great company. Through several demonstrations, I will teach you how to create various knots so you will confidently and comfortably create a well crafted macrame dreamcatcher with your own unique design. Emily will have her summer lines available to shop. We will spend the first 30 minutes mingling and shopping (with a special discount throughout the class! Thanks, Em!). The last 2 hours will be dedicated to macrame creation. There will be wine and snacks available throughout. This workshop is perfect for beginners or advanced students too. Grab a friend or three and join us!

Love the takeaway from this class! Made an awesome macrame plant hanger that I hung up as soon as I got home. The actual macrame part was somewhat complicated to "get" right away, but Amy was right there for 1v1 instruction every time any of us got stuck. Thus, the small class size was crucial for this kind of project. Loved her energy and positive vibes and would definitely take another class from her again!
