Story behind the Craft Practice

Knotty Things works with macramé, a fibre art created by tying cords into intricate knots and patterns. The studio’s work is rooted in the skills of master craftsmen, including artisans whose livelihoods were disrupted when the pandemic affected export markets. By bringing these craftspeople back to their practice, the brand helps preserve their expertise.
