Portraying the beauty of nature—its colors, shapes, and textures—for hand-made embroidered pieces is not just a form of artistic expression, it is also a form of relaxation and meditation. Layla Ortiz, founder of the CoriCrafts studio, is a specialist in botanical embroidery and works towards translating her love for plants and disconnect from the stress of everyday life.
In this course, learn how to embroider different types of plants, combine colors, and create additional elements to craft a unique piece with your hands. Through simple techniques, give life to complex compositions filled with textures and perspectives.
