Sarah discovered her passion for macrame in 2020. It all started with plant hangers, then moved on to home and décor projects. Sarah enjoys the simple, versatile nature of macrame and loves adding a modern twist to designs. She is keen to share her passion for macrame with others.
Since 2021, I have taught small group macrame workshops for private functions and at creative art studios (I previously taught at the WeMake workshop at Rhodes Shopping Centre before it closed down). I have taught classes face-to-face and virtually.
