Learn how to make and weave your own accessories on a bead loom
According to Elsa and Dani, founders of Fatto, an accessories creation workshop in Colombia, the process of making something with your own two hands is also an act of care and self-affection. That feeling is the engine that drives them to design their jewelry and give workshops to those who love crafts as much as they do.
In this course, learn to design and weave jewelry step by step using a bead loom, mastering materials and going through the entire creative process to finish your piece. By the end, you’ll know how to design and create your own accessories with a style that is personal and unique.
