In toy designer Katerin Gómez's creative process, you could say illustration acts as the launch pad and curiosity as the engine driving everything forward. After bringing you Needle Felting Animal Creation, in this online course, the founder of the brand Juanamatú shows you how to combine different materials to bring one-of-a-kind pieces to life.
Learn to develop your own vision and transfer an image to fabric, taking into account each material's unique function. The acrylics establish the atmosphere, wool brings interesting textural layers, and embroidery serves to embellish the final details.
