MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Becky Courtade (Macrame Club)

Becky Courtade is a Chicago based fiber artist whose mission is to spread her love of macrame and other fiber arts to the local community. She loves teaching others how she creates one of a kind pieces from start to finish and sharing the relaxing, meditative experience as well as the creative process with others.

Becky started Macrame Club with Kira Dunlap in 2015 as a Saturday get together with friends to unwind from the busy week and make plant hangers to hold their ever-expanding plant collections. Soon afterward, they started selling their creations and offering workshops to teach others how to create these unique pieces on their own. Kira has since moved to California and is hoping to expand Macrame Club to the west coast once she is settled.

Becky has no formal art education but grew up sewing, quilting, embroidering, and making macrame plant hangers with her mother from an early age. Becky has been a teacher with Chicago Public Schools for 7 years. Combining her love of teaching and fiber arts, she will give you a unique experience in the meditative art of macrame.

I have only just started dabbling in macrame and I wanted a hands on experience to better master different knots. Becky provided exactly that with her macrame owl class. I learned at least two basic knots as well as a couple of tricks to create different looks with those knots. Becky was a patient teacher, which was helpful since I got stuck once or twice.

This was a great low key intro to macrame where you got to leave with a cool project. Becky was a great teacher and made the evening fun.
