Course is for beginners who have not had contact with embroidery or for those who have basic knowledge but want to explore it beyond traditional embroidery.

Maria Meiga is a graphic artist who works with illustration and design and explores the applications of embroidery as an artistic discipline. In the course, she will guide you through the techniques that allow you to embroider on fabric and experiment with textures, shapes, threads and basic embroidery stitches.
