Event Description:
In this workshop, makers will work with locally foraged driftwood and a variety of textured and colored cotton string and rope to create mini (~10-12” driftwood) wall-hangings! These wall hangings will be made using scrap string and rope from Lindsay’s stash, accumulated from previous macramé projects, making them sustainable works of art! Lindsay will teach you the basic techniques and then give you creative freedom in choosing size, shape, and texture to create your leaf hanging.
All materials will be provided. However, if you feel inspired, feel free to bring your own driftwood or stash of scrap materials to incorporate or share. You may also bring an extra comb or hair straightener (though not necessary!).

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 recently began the venture into turning her love of knots into a small business: offering workshops, attending craft markets, consigning pieces to local shops, and creating custom pieces. Lindsay features locally foraged driftwood and delicate cotton cord in her art that includes wall hangings, earrings, plant hangers, bunting, and accessories.
Cause: Programs in the Crafts with a Cause! series combine the fun of creating and learning with the joy and fulfillment of giving back- to the earth, to a good cause, to a group doing good work.
