Bio:
Lindsay Welch of El Marie Macramé is a lifelong Hudson Valley resident who is energized by the opportunity to collaborate with her community through fiber art. Lindsay began crafting macramé in early 2017 out of her home in Highland and during 2018 began to venture into turning her love of knots into a small business: offering workshops, vending at craft markets, consigning pieces to local shops, and creating custom pieces. Lindsay features locally foraged driftwood, thrifted items, and delicate cotton string and rope in her art that includes wall hangings, jewelry, plant hangers, and wedding decor. She also enjoys hiking the Catskills with her pit bull, Riot, cooking, kayaking, yoga, live music, and traveling.
