Event Overview

You've been dying to learn macrame and now is your chance to create a beautiful, textured plant hanging alongside a professional artist in her home/art studio!

We will begin with intros. Next, I will teach you several knot techniques and help you practice and perfect each one. Using those knot designs, you will create your very own plant hanging design. I will help guide you with designing, knotting and the overall look of your piece. Once your design is complete, you will trim and fray the ends. Everyone will complete their unique plant hanging during class so it is ready to hang the minute you get home! Your finished piece is generously sized at approximately 3 feet long. This workshop is perfect for anyone wanting a fun, creative experience in a charming Chicago gem. Grab a friend and join the group!

TICKET INCLUDES:

Enough macrame materials to completely create your plant hanging

Choice of gold or silver top hanging ring

Printed macrame knot guide to take home

Unlimited demonstrations and guidance throughout the class

I had a lot of fun in this class! Amy was well-organized, and her method of showing us how to tie the knots and then observing and providing feedback while we tried on our own worked well. We all finished our plant hangers in the two hour allotted time for the class, and I really appreciated having a final product to take home.

I really enjoyed Amy's macrame plant hanger making class. She walked through each of the knots with us and was even kind enough to offer us wine. She welcomed us into her home and gave us the tools necessary to create a gorgeous plant hanger. I highly recommend taking any of her classes!

This was a GREAT class! I have taken several classes through Dabble and this was one of the best. Amy was a great teacher and the environment she creates in her studio is lovely. She thoroughly explained each step and made sure to give individual attention to every student. It was a great balance of learning and fun! I'm excited to display the plant hanging I made and can't wait to try out additional macrame projects in the future.

Amy was a great instructor. She took the time to teach us the knots, let us practice, and came around to help individually. I went home with something I can’t wait to use in my home!

Absolutely LOVED this class. Amy was a wonderful teacher, super patient, and just really fun to learn from. My friend and I hit unusually heavy traffic and were unfortunately 30 minutes late. Amy did a great job of bringing us up to speed quickly while still engaging our other classmates. I was surprised how easy macrame is- just like making a big friendship bracelet! Was excited to learn this skill and can't wait to try it again.

I had such a great time in this class! It's nice to do something new/creative after work with some lady friends or to go and make NEW ones! My friend and I planned to go to this class together, we BYOB'd and left with a great piece and a new skill! Amy was a delightful teacher, her instructions were simple, she helped when we were struggling and was prepared with set up, beads, and even a light snack/water! I highly recommend this class!

Loved the class!! Amy's a great teacher and it was so nice to walk out with a finished piece. The cost of the class was very reasonable.
