Learn how to embroider your favorite characters' faces to give personality and texture to your garments

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result", this well-known quote should be the mantra of any creative mind, and it seems that the contemporary beading embroiderer Camila Rubio—known as Pasionaria Pedrería—has it engraved in her mind. The world of embroidery offers endless possibilities and Camila, day by day, explores each one of them with the aim of offering original, striking, and unique pieces, investigating different media, experimenting with formats and sizes, and trying to incorporate non-traditional materials in her embroidery.

In this course, Camila will teach you how to make a portrait embroidered with beads from start to finish, which will serve as a way to express your style and creativity, using materials that add shine and texture to your piece.

Teacher Plus
Contemporary beaded embroidery artist

Camila Rubio is a contemporary beaded embroidery artist and more commonly known as Pasionaria Pedrería. She got herself into the world of embroidery through the exploration and application of materials that caught her attention—especially shiny ones— in a self-taught manner.

Camila focused on developing a beaded embroidery technique that was as complete and thorough as possible, not only in the study of different stitches but also in the use of various materials, which would allow her to turn her drawings into embroidered pieces full of nuances, shine, and texture.

She worked on the Gabriel Vielma summer collection in 2017 and from there, continued to be linked to the intervention and decoration of clothing and publishing houses. She has developed all kinds of projects: beaded embroidery kits to create patches or pins, large-scale embroidery for showcases, embroidered gardens, paper with rhinestones, among other projects.
