Our Story

Where Ancient Craft
Meets Modern Vision

EXTER FUNKY was born from a deep love for handcraft and the belief that making something beautiful with your own hands is one of life's greatest joys. Founded in Albuquerque, NM, we bring the timeless art of macrame into the digital age — teaching, inspiring, and connecting makers worldwide.

Our instructors are working artisans with decades of combined experience. Every lesson is crafted with precision, warmth, and the practical wisdom that only comes from years of knotting rope in real studios. We don't just teach techniques — we build a creative lifestyle.

I had never touched a piece of rope in my life before EXTER FUNKY. Six weeks later, I sold my first wall hanging for $180. This course changed everything for me.

The Advanced Knot Techniques course blew my mind. I've been doing macrame for 3 years but learned more in 4 weeks here than in all that time on my own.

The materials consultation session saved me over $200 in buying the wrong supplies. Incredibly practical, honest, and fast. Worth every penny of that $39.

The Creative Design course taught me to think like a designer, not just a crafter. I now have my own Etsy shop with a consistent aesthetic I'm proud of.

Beautifully structured homework system. Having a real instructor give feedback on my work made the difference between stagnating and actually improving fast.
