Hi, I'm Caroline and I design, create and share my love for the popular 70's fibre art, macrame.
I started my business over 5 years ago now, it is my full time job I literally live and breath macrame. Pretty Kooky Macrame designs are modern with a unique twist on this soothing craft. I have been teaching and running regular workshops for years now and I absolutely love it, there is no better feeling than students going home with such pride in the finished pieces.

Caroline was so patient and a great teacher. I attended with my 12yr old daughter and she had no trouble following the instructions, in fact, she was the first to finish. I was concerned that 4 hrs would be too long for her but she can’t wait to do another course with Caroline.
The set up was fantastic and you had the ability to sit or stand. Caroline provided a lovely spread of fruit/muffins.
A really enjoyable 4hrs with such a lovely teacher, not to mention a beautiful wall hanging to take home! Caroline will be seeing us again soon! Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic time creating my wall hanging with extra help from Caroline. I have an acquired brain injury and needed a lot more help than what I thought I would need . She was so very patient with me and I have come home with a beautiful macrame masterpiece. I would definitely recommend pretty kooky to anyone wanting to do macrame. Thank you Caroline for the extra time I needed. You are the best teacher.

From the moment we arrived Carolyn was the perfect host .
Very attentive , friendly and welcoming .
The tranquil show room was abundant with healthy huge plants and set up perfectly with all the materials and tools needed .
The products were great even cut to the correct length .
Carolyn s a very good teacher patient , calm and skilled .
She made sure everyone was keeping up .
I enjoyed the company of the other women and surroundings .
We also had a lovely fruit platter with dips and crackers chocolates and wine or tea if your preference.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone .

Venue was like stepping back into a 70's eclectic home filled with stunning macrame wall hangings and beautiful hanging plants (of course in macrame holders!) would definitely recommend this course
