A course by Mariana Baertl
Mariana Baertl is the founder of Living Fibers and a textile artist specializing in handmade embroidery and knit decor for indoor spaces. She studied fashion design in Peru before moving to Barcelona, Spain, where she perfected her technique and started working in haute couture and patternmaking.
After working many years as a fashion designer, she decided to change course and devote her time to textile art. All of her pieces are hand-embroidered with threads and yarns from around the world. Her biggest source of inspiration is nature, especially its shapes and movements.

Es un curso muy completo que abarca desde la inspiración, la ejecución y muchas ideas para desarrollar lo aprendido. Los recursos y links que propone ayudan a encontrar inspiración para innovar y dejar volar la imaginación. Las explicaciones son claras y precisas y siempre motivando a intentar nuevas opciones para que cada estudiante tenga una experiencia de creación y cada uno logre resultados diferentes y hermosos.
Me ha parecido un curso difícil porque es una técnica muy desconocida pero me ha inspirado mucho. Muy recomendable y la chica explica muy bien y sus obras son espectaculares.
Gostei muito
Me pareció lindo, las explicaciones adecuadas, se trata de un tapiz con algunas técnicas de bordado. Interesante, creativo y excelente terapia de mente y cuerpo. ;)
El contenido del curso no fue lo que esperaba, casi no se aprenden técnicas de bordado. Cuando hay un punto más difícil, la cámara no lo enfoca.
Muy pobre el contenido
