I’m so happy I took this course! Caro explains each step with clarity and care, showing how to achieve a professional finish and how to gently correct beginner mistakes.
Her passion for creativity shines through every lesson. When I discovered she’s Argentinian, I switched to Spanish — my first language — and felt even more connected to the process.
Thank you, Caro, for a beautiful course and for sharing your love of textile art. It was informative, inspiring, and full of soul.
