Online Video Classes

Take a video class with well known artist and teacher Joan Babcock, and learn the secrets of making beautiful micro-macrame jewelry!

Each class comes with clear printable .pdf instructions that have step by step color photos and knot diagrams. Kits in various color palettes are also available for some of the projects. A complete supply list can be viewed on the introduction page for each individual class.

The classes vary in skill level, but they all require basic knowledge of micro-macramé techniques. If you are a beginner, be sure to take the Just the Knots class before trying any of the others. Or, you can learn the basics of micro-macrame from my book, "Micro-Macramé Jewelry, Tips & Techniques for Knotting with Beads".
