The Workshop Host and cheeky human behind Ivy Trove.
Hayley Ryan
I'm 35, a bit nuts, sometimes funny, sometimes calming and the teacher behind over 100+ Workshops & Events since launching in 2018.
Ohh what a crazy beautiful ride it's been!
Since I was young I've always had a huge curiosity for all the creative things and nature which definitely came from my parents collective passions. I stumbled across the historic art of Macramé on Youtube around 8 years ago while I was studying Horticulture and creating/selling terrariums. It instantly felt so familiar, it's limitless and beautiful so I sat on the floor with jute twine at the time and taught myself while calculating inches and feet to cm and metres (American vids)!
I've learnt over the years, it usually does for so many! Once you see what Macrame is, there's mostly always some kind of beautiful past relation to it through a family member, friend or your own experience from a hospital bed to your school crafts memories! It always brings warmth.
The mind therapy and relaxation that comes with the art of knotting is priceless! It's incredibly helpful for mental health when you find the calm amongst the chaos and this is where my own personal journey started which very quickly became one of my main passions and escape methods.
If you'd like to read more of my endless words (haha, sorry) and how I started workshops and all of the journey things, head over to the About Page.
