PlusI am in love with this course! Silvia is a wealth of knowledge, and I am so happy there are files to download and print, so I can continue making in my studio without the computer all the time. I am so excited to learn paper engineering from her.

PlusAun no terminé el curso pero por ahora me gustan las explicaciones, son claras, faciles de seguir. Hay mucho material para descargar, quizas demasiado! Seria mas facil usarlo si cada unidad tuviese el link solo a los materiales mencionados en ella. Seguramente compre otro de sus cursos!
