Video tutorial was easy enough to follow, got a bit confused towards the end but finished the bag and am very happy with it :)
Ness was very good with communication and made sure that I was able to complete my project with the kit supplied
All cords were separated well and clearly labelled, so I wouldn’t get anything mixed up. Can’t wait to get my 2nd one done!

I went to a rag rug workshop for the first time and found that Ness (the teacher) explained everything really well making learning how to make the rug easy. I loved the choice of materials supplied. For a beginner like me this was the best class to start off. I would certainly attend another workshop run by Ness.

Kathryn Arthur Dec 2023


Wonderful hand-on teacher who made sure everyone got attention to give us a great learning experience

This was a great class! My sister, mum and I did this together and we all walked away feeling really accomplished and with an awesome macrame hanging pot!

Ness was a great teacher and very patient, as everyone in the class was learning at a different pace.

Would definitely do another class with Ness in the future :)

Ada Eckersley Oct 2023


Ness is a great teacher. Patient and very instructive. We were provided with a great selection of materials and we had all the tools necessary to get started in our rag rug class. The Venue was good, bit noisy with other activities going on within the building. Highly recommend

The teacher was great. She explained the knots well and demonstrated them to us. She came round and made sure we were doing it right and waited until we were ready before proceeding with the next step so none of us were left behind. All materials were provided and explained the different types we can use. very good workshop.

Macrame Wall Hanging Class review by Alexandra Wiggins - Brisbane

Trudy Frainey Mar 2023


There was not enough time to finish the item. Needed to be advertised as an intermediate class or made simpler so I'm could be completed in the time. Venue was very hot. We were told that nibbles would be provided. We had to ask for this and we were handed a single pretzel and cheese snack box. The class could have been so much better if these things were addressed

Teedie Glynn Mar 2023


The teacher was knowledgeable and helpful. Sometimes it was hard to hear because of fans.

Allison Crawford Mar 2023


This class was really great. Ness is a wonderful teacher, calm and kind and and so talented. Seeing her completed rugs was inspirational and has given me lots of motivation to keep going. It's also so therapeutic and relaxing, rag rug making is now my absolute favourite thing to do ☺️. The venue at BagEnd Studios was gorgeous (amazing art and crafts for sale) and the materials Ness provided were great, especially the nifty tool from the USA! The whole experience was great value for money and we'll be back for more soon. Thanks Ness

Karen Barrett Mar 2023


Clear explanation. Friendly helpful teacher. Plenty of room. Follow up assistance is readily available. Great!

Alicia Bulmer Mar 2023


LOVED IT Absolutely loved today's class! NESS was fantastic at explaining exactly what to expect & how to correct if we find ourselves out of shape. The intimate class size was great to help NESS get around the room and individually help us all get started.
Highly recommended

Hi Ness
It was good value for money. Tutorial was presented in the air at first which was daunting to follow. As was the previous macramé class.

However, it was then described flat on the table. And to another left handed person. Then I could at last follow it more easily as a I am also left handed.

From my experience- a suggestion is not to describe just in the air as it can be confusing - for either hand users.

I’m glad there was just one simple knot. I liked the repetitious manner of making the rug. It’s very appealing to me to repurpose materials and matches my ethics.

It makes it affordable as well and something I can continue within my budget - unlike macramé materials.

Importantly- there was time to ask questions and I felt confident working on my rag rug.

I will be recommending this workshop to my friends.

Thank you
Catherine

Jennifer Kipfer Jan 2023


Interesting experience. A bit messy in terms of format but I learned a new technique.

Nicole Dec 2022


This was a great morning lots of fun
The teacher was very patient and helpful.
Would definitely recommend

Tammie Dec 2022


I really enjoyed the workshop. The set up allowed my group to socialise but still engage in the class. The facilitator was really nice, clearly explained the steps, was patient and individualised instructions where needed. Having printed instructions hanging on the stand also meant that I could have a visual guide as well as the facilitator guiding me. I really enjoyed this class and would definitely consider taking more classes in future. I love my plant hanger.

Jason Sydenham Dec 2022


What an excellent way to spend the afternoon. Our teacher Ness was very clear in her instructions and patient too as we all worked at different speeds. A nice sized group, I think 8 people, and it just flowed nicely. Having never done macrame before I found the Ness easy to follow and was very impressed by my finished product. Certainly feeling inspired. Have even bought my first pattern to try on my own. Would highly recommend this class. Thanks Ness.

Catherine Carson Nov 2022

The class materials were prepared ready for the class.
Unfortunately, It was difficult to follow her explanation and I struggled with how the square knot was described. It’s a half hitch (from my experience in Guides) one way and back again I realised later that night.
I felt that being left handed was a disadvantage - the twine unravelled and it was frustrating to work with the rope.
The facilitator was patient and managed the group well. She responded to my my questions promptly, but I struggled. I don’t know whether I took it in.

I’d like to do one again, but I felt overwhelmed by the information being given while I was still constructing the hanger.

I guess it was a good start. The plant hanger managed to survive my attentions. I’d like to continue at home, if possible. Information would be welcomed.

Ness is a natural teacher. She is patient and clearly described and demonstrated what we needed to do. She kept up with us all working at different paces and offered heaps of tips for the future. A lovely, relaxed class. The end result? A very nice macrame pot plant hanger! In only 2 hours! I would so recommend this class to others. A great way to spend time with a friend and great value for money.

I absolutely loved this workshop with Ness. All the materials were provided and the colours to choose from were gorgeous which made deciding on a colour scheme the hard part. Creating the feather hanger was a relaxing and simple process that was really easy to do and if I ever got stuck Ness was right there ready to guide me through. I would highly recommend Ness and look forward to her next macrame class.

Awesome workshop. Excellent range of materials to chose from and venue was a perfect space - the music in the background was perfect for a sing along.
Ness was patient and encouraging, made learning easier! Love how you can create a ‘practical and eye catching work of art’ out of recycled materials. I think rag rug making can be addictive!
Thanks Ness.

We spent the afternoon trying to understand what to do but with a great teacher in a comfortable room we were able to make our own pieces in our own way, picking our own crystals and chord and extra pieces to make our necklaces to suit us. We had afternoon tea and comfortable surroundings and lots and lots of help to get us to step by step make our necklace to suit our selves. definitely coming back with friends to do again

Sandy Ross Oct 2022


The teacher was very generous with her time and teaching. The hanger was simple so we all finished in good time. We did have extra time so perhaps she could have demonstrated one or two other knots. She did talk about some other ideas but we had time to learn something new. Still, I'd recommend it to others, it was a nice afternoon.

We really recommend this workshop, especially for anyone who isn't super confident with textile crafts!

Our teacher was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The materials she provided were very high quality and the instructions very comprehensive. Tea, coffee and choc yummies also provided and very appreciated. The actual task was more intricate and time consuming than I expected, but happy to finish this project at home.

The teacher was fantastic, very helpful & patient.
Every thing was provided & put together in a way that made it easy for everyone.
Having arthritis in my knees & feet I found the stairs a bit of a bother, but made it & totally enjoyed the morning.
I loved the class very much & can't wait to do what the next class is.

Had a fun morning with Ness and a bunch of friendly lady's learning the basics of how to make rag rugs. Ness is a great teacher who took the time to demonstrate and help everyone individually, when needed.
We got to choose our material colours to suit our own tastes and decor from a good selection of material packs which included the tool needed to make the rug, as well as tea, coffee and some sweet treats to enjoy during the morning.
It was a great experience and definitely good value for money.

Instructor friendly and able to give personal 1:1 time with each student as only 6 in the class. Venue easy to find and comfortable with plenty of room.
It took a little while to understand the technique needed to make rag rugs but we had all mastered the skill and had a small rug and extra fabric to take home.
Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon .

Ness was friendly and patient. She walked us through the process and also gave one on one support. All materials were provided and we were able to keep. She provided a background to the origins of Rag Rug making and also her personal experience. She also gave us tips and places to source materials. The venue was easy to find and clean. A positive was the aircon on a hot humid afternoon. The afternoon tea and coffee was outstanding. I was very happy and will be recommending to my friends.

Rachel Aubrey Mar 2022


This was a lovely environment and a brilliant way for me to catch up with my friend. The time allowed for this class was perfect for the teacher to move between all participants and help fix issues when needed. The morning tea provided was tasty and my brain really needed the extra energy for so much concentration. The class participants were well spread out allowing big arm movements as well as being covid conscious.

Nicole Yeatman Feb 2022


She was a good teacher and very patient. I was disappointed that we only had the option of natural colour. I think two to three colours would be better and let the customer choose which colour.

I was also disappointed that masks were required. According to the Qld Government website if you are 1.5m away you do not need to wear a mask.

Also the toilet and basin were in desperate need of a clean. This disappointed me immensely.

Teacher's response

Sorry you were disappointed with so many aspects of the workshop however I did inform you you that colour options weren’t available at this point in time when you enquired prior to the workshop and a text message was sent out the day before with the venue requirements for covid safe procedures and mask wearing which you had agreed to prior. Bathroom is always clean, just building is very old with stains in sink etc from water pipes.

I was extremely happy with Ness the teacher who taught us the Rag Rug workshop. Ness is a lovely lady, very patient with all of us.
The venue was great but if the lighting was a bit brighter that would have been good. I feel the venue wouldn’t be good in Summer due to the Airconditioning not working.
Ness was really informative and the fabrics that she supplied for her class were very good.
I would highly recommend Ness’s classes to anyone.

Janet Osborne Oct 2021


I am inspired to turn all my old sheets and discarded clothing into beautiful rag rugs! Very easy technique now I know how and capable of so much individual creativity. Vanessa told us some people make ongoing "story rugs" from their children's outgrown clothing or other meaningful items.
Vanessa was a patient teacher and had us all going well by the end of the class. The room, tables, car parking and materials were all very suitable and well organised. Appreciated the cup of tea and bikkies supplied too.

Vanessa was a very helpful instructor. She spent time to get our technique correct.
All materials were supplied at the class. We were given her contact details if we need help at home and access to an online video to view what we learnt tonight.
Plenty of room to do our craft. On-site parking was available.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make a rag mat. Refreshments were made available to the class which we enjoyed.

Hi, I attended the Mini Rose Wall Hanging - Rose Bud on Saturday 11 September 2021 in Brisbane and loved the class.

The teacher Ness was very helpful and was a great teacher.

I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning macrame. Everything is supplied in the class and all you need to bring is your happy self.

Will be looking on the ClassBento website for my next class to attend.

From Roslyn, a happy class attendee.

At the beginning of the class I thought it was near impossible that I would walk away with a completed wall hanging

but Ness was a fantastic teacher, easily managing to walk the group through each step and manage a gorgeous piece

The packs provided were well labelled and easy to locate for each step

It was well set outthe adjustable racks were cool and easily moved to allow for sit/stand option during the class

Loved the classwas awesome
Super proud of my first macrame piece. Can't wait to finish it and hang it

Thanks Nesstotally recommend the class

Macrame Wall Hanging Class review by Cassandra Byers - Brisbane

Judy Alexander Jul 2021


Easy enough not sure about tieing the last cords as they seem too loose. And the instructions to separate the wings didn't look right so I did a couple of extra knots. So it looks ok my I am not overly happy with as I just feel I didn't get the sides right but take a look at the photo and let me know if there is something I should tidy up. I didn't want to use the boring dowel supplied so I used some old branch. Just looks better

Great class, very enjoyable. Vanessa made the class fun, she was very patient with me and showed me how to fix my mistakes. The project is suitable for beginners and more experienced because you go at your own pace. I enjoyed the mix media pot making with Cheryl / amazing what you can do with some paint! Even if you are not artistic like me, you will be very pleased with the end result. A lot of fun

Hi. My sister and I attended the Rag Rug class at Kawana. We both like all sorts of craft . The teacher was great, very attentive and patient and got around to everyone personally when we had problems. The venue was great with lots of room to work. We had a great day and have come away with a new craft while catching up and meeting other ladies. Thinking of Macrame for next time! Cheers Tracy.

Jane Trigg Jun 2021


Thoroughly enjoyed the rag rug workshop with Ness.
Good venue, good parking, good set-up :)
Ness (and Chloe) were clear with instructions and readily available to help us…class size was good for this…it was relaxed and friendly…
I am still adding to my rug, a few days later - so that alone says something :)

Classroom seats are terribly uncomfortable, but the room was set up well, with lots of interesting crafts on display to inspire creativity. Everything you need to get started on a rug was provided.
Rag rug class at Petrie was great value and I'd recommend to anyone.

The instructor was very organised and great to work with. The other members of workshop were very pleasant so it was an excellent social occasion as well as a great craft event. Vanessa never failed to help anyone when they were unsure of the knots. We each made a beautiful small wall hanging to take home. Best ever class!

I learned how to make a rag rug, the circular shape.Vanessa gave clear instructions, and helped 8ndividually while we worked on them. The materials supplied were varied, and worked well. I went home and continued without problems. Now to remember step one to start a new one later might be a challenge, but Vanessa has said she is available to assist. Nice, worthwhile afternoon.

Tracy Brew May 2021


It was a very good class. I feel increasing the course to 3 hrs would assist with learning the new skill and perhaps having a 15 min coffee break in middle would allow everyone time to meet new people. Would do another class again! It was great!

Sandy Harnell May 2021


Vanessa was great. Very friendly, organised, great range of supplies and choices. Overall was very, very good. Looking forward to going to another workshop at the venue. The only negative if you call it a negative is that the toilets are outside the venue. Might be an issue when it rains but having grown up with toilets outside, not a problem.

Jan Rhoades May 2021


We had fun in our rag rug making class in Yeronga with Ness and her great helper Chloe. The time flew by.
Ness has worked out a ‘new’ way to start off the process and it seems to have worked because we all ended up with something.
She was well organised, helpful and patient with a class full of beginners.
Great fun at CWA hall on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Brisbane
Thanks Ness and Chloe
