Learning macrame techniques can improve hand skills and sense of accomplishment, as well as give participants the confidence to make their own creations. Thus, macrame workshops not only provide an opportunity to learn new skills, but also open the door to a deeper understanding of the history, creativity, and cultural values embodied in this art.
The implementation of TKMDII XVI is expected to motivate students of interior design study programs in the country to continue working and collaborating. The works produced will further build a positive image and strengthen the interior designer profession in the eyes of the public.
