Para mi fue un exclente curso, Marion Mazo maneja muy bien las tecnicas que comparte, tiene bastante claridad a la hora de dar las indicaciones, al mostrar la teoria del color, la composición de su temas y en lo que se inspira, en cada paso nos mostro que podria ocurrir al tejer el anillo y la pulsera y lo que se debe hacer. Muchas gracias Marion por tus conocimientos y aportes.
