Who is this online course for?
Anyone who enjoys crafts and who are interested in learning embroidery from scratch or delving into other techniques to embroider in a different way.
Requirements and materials
No prior knowledge is required as Josefina teaches you the basic stitches and how they can be applied in interesting ways; but don't let that hold you back from using any other embroidery stitches that you already know.
You need basic embroidery materials, which Josefina will list in one of the lessons.

A course by Josefina Allendes
Josefina Allendes is an artist specialized in crafts and textile art. When she was little, instead of playing with dolls, she used to make clothes for them, and her gifts were always handmade. True to her passion, she continued her studies in sculpture and embroidery. She then went on to create Wild Spirit, a children's clothing and shoes brand where everything is 100% handmade.
She currently practices what she calls "free embroidery" and works on commission for interior designers, different international brands, and art exhibitions. She also offers courses on her free and creative techniques in Miami (USA), Lima (Peru), Santiago de Chile (Chile), and Buenos Aires (Argentina).
