If you want to create decorative pieces using thick string and your hands as your tool, textile artist Erika Pineda—founder of the Colombian brand Ancestral—will take you by the hand and lead you into a journey through the world of circular macramé. Passionate about this technique, Erika aims to revive this tradition by creating contemporary pieces filled with wonder, that are capable of connecting with the memory and roots of each person.
In this course, learn a range of basic macramé knots and discover how to take these knots to the next level by applying them to a circular pattern. Erika teaches the dyeing process and tricks to experiment with different shapes and patterns to create a unique decorative piece.
