About this session
A beginner-friendly, hands-on textile craft. One knot becomes a row, and repeated rows become the design.
Participants attach cord to a support, learn beginner knots, practice even tension, combine knots into a pattern and finish a small decorative wall hanging.
Mistakes are part of it: participants learn to spot them, undo and adjust. Online, materials are confirmed in advance.
