Maker's bio

The Arienas Collective supports local artists and makers to earn a living by sharing their creative skills and passions with others through delivering workshops. The workshops are run from our mews home in the beautiful Georgian New Town of central Edinburgh. We believe in the wellbeing benefits of engaging in creative activity, and our class sizes are kept small so that you get the support you need to make the most of your time with us. We teach you creative skills you can continue at home.

Susan Duncan reviewed: Introduction to macrame with Lucy Wayman

"Great introduction to Macrame. Lucy explained everything very clearly and taught everyone the basic knots they needed to complete a project. She was so good at going around helping everyone (no easy task when we were doing different projects). The workshop was set in Lynn's lovely home and we had all the equipment we needed to complete our projects. Tea and coffee were supplied in lovely bone china cups. I would highly recommend this course. Thank you"

The Arienas Collective responded:

"Hello Susan Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. It means so much to us. Lucy does indeed do a great job at supporting people to create their individual macrame projects, and it was wonderful to see so many different styles. And thank you for appreciating the small things too, like my family's vintage cups. I love my tea, and always think it tastes nicer in a lovely china tea cup! I hope your fabulous macrame hanging has found its rightful place hanging proudly at home. And I hope to welcome you back again soon. Best wishes Lynn"
