Workshop to make a macramé Christmas garland, with a drink and cake included.
Tied by Juniper is running a Christmas workshop at Oatz And Co in Lincoln on Thursday 19 November, and the thing you'll be making is a macramé Christmas garland. If you've never tried macramé before, it's essentially the art of knotting cord into patterns, and a garland is a great place to start because it's a repeating design rather than one big, daunting project. You'll spend the session learning the knots needed to build it, and by the end you'll have a finished piece to hang up in your own home.
It's not just about the making, though. A drink and a slice of cake are included in the ticket, so you can work away with something to eat and drink on the table. It's the kind of thing that works as well on your own as it does with a friend, and since it's a workshop, you're not expected to know anything about macramé when you walk through the door. The whole point is to learn as you go, so you'll be guided through the knots step by step.
It's a nice way to get a bit of handmade decorating sorted before the December rush properly kicks in, and you'll leave with something you actually made yourself rather than something bought off a shelf. The garland is a classic Christmas look, and once you've got the hang of the knots, it's a skill you can keep using for other projects later on.
