Sacred Knots
workshops
I have been teaching my approach to knotting in class settings, as a craft book author, and now e-courses for the past few years.
​
My blend of wide ranging fiber craft mediums and techniques makes my work uniquely grounded in ancestral wisdom while unachored from traditional categories. The combination of sewing, knotting, tassels, metal working embellishments, gems, and color palette that I developed over the past six years defines my work aesthetic.

the pandemic. If you have a group, venue, organization
and would like to host a knotting course in the future,
potentially in 2021, please submit the contact form
to the right. )
​
KNOT BASICS: a lower price point, fun, quick class. In this class you do not learn to create a wallhanging, but rather a small collection of knots. With the techniques learned in this course you will walk away with the knowledge you need to create a large workshop with additional home practice if you so choose. This class is perfect for beginner's without crafting or knotting experience & those who want to sample knotting without making a large financial or time investment. Its a fun & social class to take with friends as it has a relaxed, casual pace. Its also a great summer class for parents to take with kids over age 11.
SACRED KNOT SEQUENCE WALLHANGING WORKSHOP: this is the ultimate 4 hour crash course for those who want to leave class with a medium to large, finished wallhanging. This class if perfect for those who have any prior crafting experience, want to complete their project by the end of class &/or those who don't have the time or the knowledge to gather the necessary materials, as this class includes everything from 50 feet of rope to a knotting board you can take home for future work. The style of this meditative & quiet as this level of knotting takes a lot of concentration. There is also a spiritual dimension to this class for those who want to connect the practice to goal manifestation. This class fast tracks months of DIY knotting practice into a concise 4 hour session.
