About “Knotty” Jacq
A little about Jacq
Jacq got serious about braiding in 2019. While she is enamored by tradition, she also fearlessly experiments and sometimes “colors outside the lines”.
As an engineer, she embraces the challenges of custom projects, the struggles of unanswered questions, and the need for creative solutions. Braiding turns out to be just one area where her creativity and technical skills work together to produce truly one-of-a-kind art!
Large or small projects: all heart!
Every piece, large or small, is created with love and pride. While she keeps a small stock of finished products, most of her work is custom ordered. She loves being able to craft the personal preferences into each item for her customers!
