Emily Hart
Macramé Instructor & Nature Lover
Passion for Macramé
Emily discovered macramé five years ago and immediately fell in love with the intricate knotting techniques. What began as a relaxing hobby quickly turned into a creative outlet that balanced the more structured demands of her graphic design career. Today, her passion for macramé fuels her creativity and allows her to explore new artistic boundaries.
Loyal Companion
Luna, her loyal Labrador, is always by her side, whether she's crafting or exploring the outdoors. Their long walks together often spark new ideas for her macramé pieces, particularly when she stumbles upon natural materials like driftwood or fallen branches. Luna’s playful energy adds an extra touch of joy to these moments of inspiration.
Connection with Nature
On weekends, she loves spending time in her garden, finding peace and inspiration surrounded by nature. She often hangs her finished macramé pieces in the trees, letting them sway in the breeze, blending with the natural landscape. The textures, shapes, and patterns of the natural world constantly influence her designs.
