Explicaciones claras y fáciles de aplicar, echo de menos algunos otros ejemplos de corte de piezas y alternativas de corte para cuando no se tiene esa herramienta .

Me ha gustado mucho lo aprendido en el curso. Las piezas elaboradas han quedado muy bonitas y tienen un aspecto artesanal que da calidez a la estancia donde las he colocado. Es una técnica relajante y gustosa de trabajar. Puedo aplicarla en clase con mis alumnos de secundaria.
