Have a break, knot some things!
Whether you’re after a wholesome escape, a unique date idea, or a thoughtful gift for someone special, teachers and clients - Macramé might just be what your soul needs!
With each knot that you create, this timeless and historic art form allows you to slow down, unravel and watch your masterpiece come to life making it an even more beautifully eye catching experience.
Led by Hayley (the nutbag behind Ivy Trove), our hands-on workshops invite you to slow down, unwind, have a good laugh and make something beautiful no matter what your experience level is, we've got you!
If you can't attend a class in person, we also offer Live Online sessions and DIY Kits with easy to follow step by step tutorial videos so you can create at your own pace whenever you desire at your own pace (hopefully in the comfort of your PJs).

Hayley Ryan
I'm 36, a bit nuts, very open minded, plant obsessed and the teacher behind over 100+ Workshops & Events since launching in 2018.
Ohh what a crazy beautiful ride it's been!
Since I was young I've always had a huge curiosity for all the creative things and nature which definitely came from my parents collective passions. I stumbled across the beautifully timeless and historic art of Macramé on Youtube around 8 years ago while I was studying Horticulture and creating/selling terrariums. It instantly felt so familiar (as I've learnt over the years, it does for so many!) I sat on the floor with the jute twine I had at the time and taught myself while calculating inches and feet to cm and metres (American vids)!
Once you see what Macrame is, it always brings warmth and we all feel some kind of past connection to it. Through a family member, friend or your own experience in school crafts etc. It's in and out of fashion like nobodies business but hopefully it's here to stay this time.
The mind therapy and relaxation that comes with the art of knotting is priceless! It's incredibly helpful for mental health when you find the calm amongst the chaos and this is where my own personal journey started which very quickly became one of my main passions and escape methods.
If you'd like to read more of my endless chatter and how I started workshops and all of the journey things, head over to the About Page.
Feel free to get in touch any time - hello@ivytrove.com.
Cheers, Hayley X
