Reviews
Leire Villar learned how to crochet more than ten years ago and has been passionate about it ever since. She loves that you can create a unique object with just a hook, yarn, and orderly rows of knots.
It's a calming activity that also increases self-esteem. According to Leire, "It's rewarding when you see that you are capable of making beautiful things with your own hands."
With her brand Ameskeria, she creates products for women and children that she sells online or at craft fairs like Festivalet.
She also shares her passion for crochet by teaching workshops, decorating street furniture with crochet designs, and through her digital magazine of crochet patterns that she co-founded with Ingrid Valls and Nuria Picos. She is currently working on a book for publishing house GG.
In addition to crochet, Leire is passionate about photography and is always looking for ways to combine both worlds and find her own form of expression through images.

Es el mejor curso de amigurumis que he comprado, no solo te enseña a hacer un amigurumi como los otros cursos, pero y si quiero hacer algo mas? pues en este curso me dio las bases para poder hacer lo que mi imaginación quiera, me encantó desde como explica y te enseña las herramientas, reglas y a hacer formas que te servirán para cualquier cosa que puedas imaginar. Muchas gracias Leire y Ameskeria, ahora comenzaré el siguiente curso. Disfruté muchísimo hacer mi Mangato :).
