ABOUT WOVEN SWAY

Welcome! My name is Dar and I'm the owner of Woven Sway. I am so thankful you have stopped by to browse our handmade products and see what services we offer! 

I have been practicing this art of Macrame for the past 9 years. To me, handcrafted art makes the home feel like a haven, cozy and personal, surrounded by curated finds,  I am a total Boho girl at heart, so I adore heavy fringe, feathers and anything that has been tossed around in the ocean.

 I am married to Dave, my long time love, who is my biggest supporter and the one who engineers all the practical things, like the rustic wood stand for the big Macrame backdrop, made from recycled power poles! We have two interesting, kind and creative teens, and a couch potato greyhound  named Tuesday, rescued from the track, who still loves to show off at the dog park. I am a volunteer teacher, I love strength training with my daughter and being outside, hiking or on my bike, usually with my twin sister. 

 Macrame is a craft that fills my need to create. Writing songs and stories have always been an outlet but I needed the tactile factor! The repetitive knotting and all the texture is  so calming. The gentle movement and softness of Macrame is behind the name, Woven Sway. 

Starting in the spring of 2024, I began teaching workshops for kids, which I love and thanks to them  and their complete honesty lol, I learned all the things that I needed to explain better and what was actually NOT a beginner project. It helped me figure out how to start basic and build on skills.  Adult classes came next and it has been the biggest step out of my comfort zone! But SO rewarding, meeting so many lovely people in my little community along with other small shop owners, who have so kindly provided their space as venues for me. This has led to mutual support and to forging solid working relationships!

 

I would LOVE to teach you this craft! Check out my Upcoming  Classes and follow me on Instagram and Facebook for regular updates. (Info in Contact section)

 We would be happy to sit down with you and chat about our Macrame event packages for your upcoming wedding, parties or corporate get-togethers! Please feel free to reach out!

We appreciate your small shop love!
