Bottle Bag Workshop with NOTS
4th March 2025
Learn how to make a bottle bag from paracord using knotting and macrame techniques with NOTS founder Emilia Jones.
Join us for a Bottle Bag Making Workshop with NOTS founder Emilia Jones. Born out of a love for climbing, camping and the great outdoors, NOTS creates accessories thoughtfully designed for your lifestyle whether you’re in the city or up in the mountains.
In this workshop Emilia will guide you to create your very own custom bottle bag using paracord, incorporating the fundamentals of macrame alongside a variety of knotting techniques.

Ticket Prices:
We have two ticket prices for this workshop – whichever you choose will give you the same workshop experience.
General Tickets – £20
Lower Cost Tickets – £10
Both ticket prices have been subsidised by our funding to allow more people to take part in making activities, however, one has been more subsidised than the other. The ‘Lower Cost’ ticket option is for those who don’t feel able to pay the full general ticket price. The £10 ticket does not require any proof of status. It is self-administered on a trust basis. We hope those who can will pay the standard workshop ticket price; and the affordable options will be accessed by those who need them.
If you’ve purchased a ticket but find yourself unable to attend the workshop, please ensure that you submit a refund request at least 72 hours before the event. This allows us to make the ticket available to others. Failure to request a refund before the 72-hour deadline will result in the inability to receive any reimbursement.
If you have any questions about ticket prices, please contact sophie@festivalofmaking.co.uk
