About the artist:
Grace is an aerial circus performer who, during the lockdown, began macramé as a hobby to improve her wellbeing and has loved it so much she founded her small business A Moment Entwine. When Grace isn’t dangling from the ceiling she makes things to dangle from the ceiling! As well as plant hangers Grace makes bunting, pockets, coasters, curtain ties, hearts, wall hangings and Macraweave landscapes (you can see her pieces in Made in Stirling). Once you’ve done this workshop, you’ll have the skills to develop your own macramé designs to transform your home or create thoughtful gifts.
