About Jordan Sanchez Masters
Hi there! I’m Jordan and I’m the hands behind The Knottery. I’m a Washingtonian/Californian, cat mama, and macramaker. I’ve always been an artsy person – as a child, I loved to knit, draw, paint, take photos, sing, perform in the school musicals, really anything that allowed me to be creative! After graduating college with an International Business degree, I entered the working world, spending about 5+ years in sales and recruiting. However, like most people, my job was heavily impacted in 2020 and I felt the universe urging me to get back to my creative roots. In the midst of a global pandemic, I left my job, took a leap of faith and dove head first into macramé, teaching, and entrepreneurship. So thank you for supporting small business… and let’s get knotty together!
Registration is required. Please register once per person.
