Introduction to Macrame Tapestry

Meet your teacher, Natália, who tells you about her trajectory in the world of textile arts and how she created her own brand: Aram Studio. She also introduces you to some of her most important work and tells you what you will learn throughout this course.

In the second unit, review the history of macramé, exploring the different types of fibers, as well as their main characteristics and properties. Then, take a look at all the materials you need to create your tapestry.

Natália introduces you to different knots and teaches you some basic macramé stitches and their variations. Learn how to create geometric patterns from the scalloped knot and practice the techniques needed to make your own frame.

Immediately after sketching your piece and leaving your threads prepared in the frame, it’s time to start weaving—beginning from the top and following with the central shapes until you reach the bangs, final touches, and strands.

After weaving your decorative piece, Natália gives you a series of cleaning and maintenance tips so that you can keep your piece looking its best.
