On the public holiday of April 25, 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting our long-awaited macramé workshop! It was an afternoon full of creativity, relaxation, and, of course, a lot of fun, at the Selection Garden venue in Vila Nova de Gaia, a special place that truly enhanced the tranquil atmosphere we aimed to provide.
The event began at 2:30 PM, with everyone ready to learn or perfect their macramé technique. Our instructor, Flora, known for her macramé work at @nuqi.macrame, brought the perfect energy to guide participants through this world of knots and patterns.
What did we learn?
During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to learn basic and advanced macramé techniques, explore different types of knots and patterns, and discover the various types of yarns available. The experience was hands-on, and everyone left with their own plant hanger, made with great care and creativity!
A touch of well-being: Yoga and socialising
After the learning session, we couldn't neglect relaxation! We had a 45-minute yoga class, perfect for calming the mind and reconnecting body and spirit after such intense concentration on handicrafts.
The afternoon was also a space for socialising and sharing among participants. It was amazing to see how macramé, more than an art, is a way to bring people together and create memories. And, of course, there was no shortage of smiles and good conversations!
A final surprise
To top it off, everyone was surprised with a special treat: a Navita Mystery Box, containing various types of yarn so they could replicate another plant hanger at home, a special discount code to use in our online store, a certificate of participation, and a physical souvenir photo to keep as a memento.
An unforgettable afternoon
The Selection Garden, surrounded by nature, was the perfect setting for this creative and relaxing afternoon. The combination of the outdoor environment with macramé was, without a doubt, therapy for all of us.
Spaces were limited and sold out quickly, but we promise that this was just the first of many incredible workshops we are preparing.
