A course by Terri Watson
Meet the incredibly talented Terri Watson, a published author and innovative fiber artist. At the young age of eight, Terri learned the art of macramé knots from her Grandmother, setting the foundation for her passion and journey in the world of fiber art.
For the past five years, Terri has been pushing the boundaries of her medium, infusing her macramé creations with a mid-century modern touch, inspired by retro color palettes and imagery. Her work has taken her far, including an exciting collaboration with the decor team at the Corona Sunsets Music Festival in Australia.
Terri's creativity knows no bounds, and she proudly introduces the "fucrame," her salacious style that combines humor with knots. As a published author, she penned "New School Macramé: A Contemporary Knotting Manual for Over 100 Fresh Fibre Projects," the first book dedicated to the captivating vertical clove hitch knot.
Terri's artistic journey is marked by innovation, risk-taking, and reaping the rewards of her creativity. She continues to collaborate with esteemed artists and is delighted to share her expertise and love for macramé with you in this engaging online course.
