About knotting master classes

I lead the master class, having previously agreed on the number of participants, topic, date, time and place of the master class. A knotting master class is an opportunity to creatively spend time in the company of like-minded people, both with work colleagues and with girlfriends, for example at a bachelorette party.

WHAT WILL YOU GET IN THE KNITTING MASTER CLASS?

You will learn a very old, traditional and currently popular handicraft technique for creating boho-style decor, interior and clothing accessories. You will learn basic knots and tricks, which will give you the opportunity to tie an infinite number of different knots. You will get out of the daily rush and devote time only to yourself. You will have an interesting and creative time. You will meet like-minded people. You will work both with your mind and with your hands and you will get a sensory experience that will act as a relief from everyday thoughts and improve brain function. After the master class, you will go home with pride for what you have done, with a sense of satisfaction for the newly acquired skills and with a homemade knotted decor!

WHAT CAN I NOT PROMISE?

I can't promise that learning how to knot is easy and quick. Each master class participant has her own pace of learning. Knotting requires patience and a mind. However, when you feel even more agile, you will gradually switch off your mind and your hands will work on their own. It is very likely that you will get carried away and continue to tie knots again and again.


NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

The most suitable number of participants is from 1 to 8 participants, so that the process of learning knotting is as individual as possible and I can devote the necessary time and attention to each participant. I also conduct workshops for a larger number of participants, but then you have to count on a smaller individual process or choose to create the simplest knotting works that do not require much effort.

TOPIC

It is possible to choose one of the offered master class topics:

  • For beginners, I recommend the following knotting themes - wall decorations and/or flower pot holders, Christmas tree decorations, knotted decorative wreaths.
  • For knotters with basic skills - bags, lamp domes, dream catchers, belts, etc.
  • Special offer for bachelorette parties - friendship bracelets with red thread.

TIME

A minimum of 3 hours must be scheduled for the knotting master class. For larger jobs or more participants, even more time should be scheduled.

PLACE

I don't have my own workshop. I arrange the place for the master class according to the wishes and needs of the client. I am happy to go on trips all over Latvia!

I am friends with Ilze Landmane, who is happy to share the premises of her sewing workshop in Agenskalns. And there is cooperation with Vidzeme market, where I have set up a very nice corner to enjoy the joy of creation in the very center of Riga.

MATERIALS

I provide all the necessary materials and tools for knotting. Each participant goes home with a homemade knotwork. If there is a desire, you can buy ropes for knotting in the master class.

CONTENTS

During the master class, I introduce participants to knotting materials, tools and their variety. Showing the books that are my knotting "Alphabets". I show and teach the knots needed for the relevant knotting, tell and show specific knotting tricks and techniques. Especially for skilled knotters, I show you additional knots and techniques that allow you to create a wider range of knots.
