Modern Macramé Workshop Testimonials
-
“Emily does so much more than teach a craft, she weaves you into her story. The way she shares the art of macrame is personal and lovely and makes you feel like your process is not work but rather an experience that pulls memories and feelings and crafty vibes all into a piece that can enjoy for a lifetime.” - Marney Wolf

“Emily was a great teacher. I was completely new to macramé when I walked into this workshop. I was nervous but she had a calming presence. She taught the basics and then encouraged us to be creative in their use. I felt comfortable taking risks with my design, knowing it was an easy fix if I needed to alter my hanging.” - Kayla Cross (@kaylaleigh_m)

“I took a workshop with Emily back in November of 2017. I was testing the waters out, and I'm so happy that I did! I absolutely love macrame! Thanks to Emily and her cool mellow teaching style. She made macrame very approachable, and fun. Even though there are times of frustration due to the learning curve, I just remember Emily's nonchalant attitude about if it doesn't work...who cares! Start it over! That has been a great lesson for me! Thanks Emily!” - Lara Walker (@rrexxwalker13)

“I took Emily’s macrame class at 2015 Spirit Weavers. It was outside in the forest and it was fun and nourishing tying rope from trees! Emily is a really warm, sweet, patient teacher and I think that is a big part of why the class was so great! I learned a few new knots and understood the basics a bit better. It was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend any class of hers.” - Evie Pitts (@evietildeath)

“The Modern Macrame workshop experience felt like I was gathering with a group of friends and crafting at my house - it was intimate, beautifully designed, and fun. Emily is clearly a seasoned pro at these workshops, but her presentation still felt extremely personal to us and the city, space, and mood we were all in. Her and her right-hand, Caitlin, were very thoughtful and friendly with their personalized help as I made my wall hanging and would answer my questions fully, also adding insight about helpful tips/tricks to take my weaving further.” - Katie Gruzd (@kgruzd)

“YES! Emily's class in Bayview, Wisconsin was perfect. What I loved about it was that it wasn't just about the macrame, we spent time getting to know one another prior to class. Emily was very open and forthcoming about her background, inspiration, how she got to this place, etc. It truly felt like a safe, open, creative outlet from the moment I walked in.” - Jennifer White, Shorewood, WI, USA (@jennifer.white)
