Event Overview

Summer is just around the corner so join us for the perfect Chicago evening of shopping, wine and macrame! 


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, macrame, wine, snacks and great company. Emily will have her summer lines available to shop. We will spend the first 30 minutes mingling and shopping (with a 15% off storewide discount throughout the class! Thanks, Em!).


The last 2 hours will be dedicated to macrame creation. I will teach you a variety of knots, lead you through various demonstrations and discuss design ideas so you will confidently and comfortably create a well crafted macrame wall hanging. The highlight of this class is the hand dyed accent rope that I specially hand dyed just for you! Once you purchase your ticket, message Amy with your color choice. See below for color options.


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!


Workshop tickets are nonrefundable. If necessary, you can transfer your ticket into someone else's name.

"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!" - Emily F.

    The Hand Dyed Macrame Wall Hanging Class is a fun and simple introduction to the world of macrame and crafting. Amy is an excellent and skilled teacher! She balances the class time perfectly between teaching new skills and allowing students to have time to play, make mistakes, and create a unique piece all of their own.

    I will definitely be back for more classes! I highly recommend this workshop.
