Description

This course begins by tracing macrame back to Ancient history, examining how early civilizations used knotting techniques in textiles, trade, clothing, and symbolic design. Understanding Ancient history provides context for modern macrame, showing how traditional methods evolved into contemporary decorative art. The structural logic behind knots is explored through comparisons with Pattern cutting, where measurement, proportion, and planning are essential. Just as Pattern cutting transforms flat fabric into structured garments, macrame transforms simple cord into dimensional art. The influence of Jewellery making is also examined, particularly in the creation of detailed accessories, ornamental hangings, and wearable pieces. Jewellery making shares macrame’s focus on precision, repetition, and refined finishing.

As the course progresses, learners explore how design concepts rooted in Ancient history continue to shape modern aesthetics. Pattern cutting concepts such as balance, symmetry, and construction planning are applied to knot arrangement and layout development. Jewellery making techniques inspire the incorporation of beads, charms, and structured decorative elements into macrame designs. The dialogue between Ancient history, Pattern cutting, and Jewellery making highlights the interdisciplinary nature of textile crafts. By the end, learners understand how Ancient history informs style, how Pattern cutting strengthens structural awareness, and how Jewellery making enhances decorative possibilities within macrame.

This is a self-paced learning platform, meaning you can study at your own pace and convenience. Additionally, each section of the course is divided in a way that allows you to easily pick up where you left off, making it easy to manage your time and progress throughout the course.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
