Master the Art of Mindful Knotting
Originating from Tibetan Buddhist traditions symbolising peace, tranquillity, and oneness, these iconic bracelets blend structured, rhythmic knotting with beautiful beadwork to create a striking, high-end piece of personal jewellery.
In this focused two-hour masterclass, you will move beyond simple stringing and dive into genuine textile craft—learning the exact tension, spacing, and knotting patterns needed to produce durable, studio-quality jewellery. Every participant is welcome to create as many pieces as they want of various styles in the designated timeline.
What You Will Learn & Create:
  • The Core Macramé Knots: Master the Square Knot (Cobra stitch) and the sliding closure knot, which are the fundamental building blocks of classic textile jewellery.
  • Bead Integration: Learn how to seamlessly lock beads into your cord framework, maintaining perfect alignment and structural symmetry.
  • Adjustable Closures: Discover the secret to creating a clean, professional, and adjustable sliding knot closure so your custom piece fits any wrist perfectly.
What’s Provided:
  • A premium curation of base cords (nylon, waxed cotton, and satin cords in a variety of contemporary tones).
  • An extensive selection of high-quality beads (semi-precious stones, metallic accents, textured wood, and faceted glass).
  • Professional jewellery making boards, anchor pins, and finishing tools.
  • Step-by-step visual guides and personalised, hands-on instruction.
