About the workshop
Join local Macramé artist CharKnots and learn how to make a statement wall hanging in a beautiful autumnal colour.
We'll start the workshop by learning about the origins of Macramé before introducing you to the knots you will need to make your very own Macramé Wall Hanging in either terracotta, natural or sage green. The wall hanging will measure approximately 60cm wide x 70cm long, the perfect statement piece for your home.
We will be using sustainably sourced wood and the highest quality 100% recycled cotton rope made from factory production waste and used textiles destined for landfill. This is the perfect step by step introduction to macramé.
Important information and accessibility
All equipment and materials will be provided, including a plant from the Chatsworth production garden. The workshop ticket includes tea, coffee and access to the Chatsworth Garden and Farmyard, you may explore at your own pace before the workshop.
This workshop is suitable for all abilities, but does require manual dexterity. Please email education@chatsworth.org if you have any questions about accessibility or bringing a carer with you.
Meeting point
This activity will take place in our garden studio, the Old Potting Shed. Please meet at the top garden gates (near the Stables) at 1.15pm.
About the artist
Charlotte is a macramé artist based in Sheffield, UK. She started working with macramé techniques back in 2017 and instantly fell in love with how therapeutic it was to create with just her hands and a spool of rope. A couple of years later, CharKnots was born.
Charlotte is passionate about sustainability and so creating an eco-conscious brand was of the utmost importance to her. After honing her skills over the past few years, making plant hangers, wall hangings and accessories she now teaches macramé workshops, sharing the magic of macramé with others.
