Beginner Macrame

Click here to register Join Jodi Cort’s beginner level macrame class to design a beautiful plant hanger! Macrame is a type of textile that is produced by making knots. There are various kinds of knots that can be used, and they can be combined in an infinite number of ways to create both functional and aesthetic pieces. This introductory class will cover basic macrame knots needed to complete one plant hanger, which each participant will be able to bring home. The instructor plans to offer intermediate classes in the future. She hopes to instill an interest in this craft and a desire to continue to learn additional knots and patterns in order to create wall hangings, more advanced plant hangers, and unique pieces. We hope you will join us at the Community House to learn this amazing craft! $50 for Members | $60 for Nonmembers ▪️Nonmembers, click here to register. ▪️Members, please call us at 239-472-2155 before purchasing your tickets to receive your DISCOUNT CODE! ▪️Not a member yet?

Until recently, she worked part-time as a sign language interpreter in a variety of settings. She also volunteered in the Guardian and Litem program, participated in fundraising projects for SCCF, and taught sign language classes. Jodi currently lives in Fort Myers, just a few miles from the causeway, which she crosses almost daily, often to play tennis at the Dunes Golf and Tennis Club. Jodi has enjoyed a variety of crafts for over 50 years, including needlepoint, embroidery, crewel, punch-hook rug-making, and knitting. During the past two years, she has found a new passion — the art of macrame. She makes wall hangings and plant hangers, and has been commissioned to make holiday ornaments & wreaths, and original pieces for gifts and non-profit organizations. Combining her love for teaching with her new craft is something Jodi naturally enjoys.
