    More about your Teacher Nour

    Nour

    Olá, I’m Nour — the hands and heart behind Khouyout Macramé.

    I was born and raised in Lebanon and now call Portugal home. What began as a hobby — knotting cords in my free time — soon grew into a passion. Friends encouraged me to share my work, and before long I was selling my creations.

    Now in Lisbon, I continue that journey by creating and teaching macramé. My work is simple, and made with care — each piece reflecting patience, creativity, and the joy of making something by hand.

    I love welcoming people into the world of macramé through beginner-friendly workshops, where we slow down, create together, and leave with something beautiful made by our own hands.
