About the final project for: Macramé for Beginners: Explore the Art of Knots

Macramé: Explore the Art of Knots

“We may have reached the end of the course, but your Modern Macramé adventure is just beginning! I hope you had a wonderful time following along the lessons; I loved sharing my passion and journey with you. Before saying goodbye, for now, I'd like to do a quick recap of the steps you'll need to take on your Final Project. DESIGN From your collection of inspirational or mood boards, make a few sketches of what you want your marcarmé piece to look like.

MATERIAL SELECTION Decide what material is best suited to your design.
PREPARATION Determine your cut list, make your cuts and gather the tools you'll need for your project.
FABRICATION Knot your piece according to your pattern/sketch.
INSTALLATION Install your work in its intended space!
My last piece of advice is to share your progress with your peers in the course; sharing our passion is not only fun but brings a lot of new insight to our creative process. So don't hesitate to open up; I'll be there from time to time to check on you and your beautiful pieces of art! See you soon!”

“Final Project Thank you so much for joining me. It's been a pleasure making this project together.

I hope I've empowered you to find your own inspiration and create the project of your dreams. Start small and don't be intimidated. Sometimes we have great big expectations about what we'll create but I must tell you, even sometimes...”

Fiber Artist

Emily Katz is an American fiber artist and small business owner based in Portland, Oregon. Artistic since childhood, she experimented with various mediums and went on to study painting and printmaking at Maryland College Institute of Art. After deciding college wasn’t for her, Emily began thrifting and personalizing vintage clothing with her own embroideries. This kickstarted her sustainable womenswear business, with items selling in 50 boutiques around the world. After the economic crash of 2008, she closed her brand and returned to embroidery with a fine art focus. Emily then spent time learning macramé from her mother and her love for the craft was born.

Since then, she has taught macramé workshops to 1000s of people across the UK, Japan, Portugal, Denmark, and more. Emily also runs her second business, Modern Macramé where she sells macramé materials and makes custom pieces for interior clients including Ralph Lauren and Nordstrom. Emily has been featured in various magazines and even published her own book on the macramé craft in 2018.
