It takes a lot of time to prepare my instructional pages and I share this information on my web site without charge. I shall try to find the time to make additions to these pages from time to time. However, I cannot provide detailed instructions by e-mail or telephone.

The descriptions and visuals that I have prepared work for most people who are trying to learn macramé. However, some people need in person instruction to be successful. If you know of any classes please let me know and I will add this information to my site. The classes that I teach are in Howard Beach, NY.

All of my pieces are my original designs and I do not prepare or provide step by step instructions. If you have learned the basic knots and would like step by step project instructions, you may be able to find some useful books or web sites. The FAQs pages on this site provide a few links and referrals as well as answers to some instructional questions that I have often been asked.
