Macramé Knots: Create a Sample Collection
A course by Belen Senra , Textile artist
Learn how to create and combine different knots to apply in your textile projects
To achieve greater artistic expressiveness through strings and fabrics, it is essential to explore and play with the composition, and with its results. The well-known textile artist Belen Senra —who has already exhibited her work in New York, Miami, Madrid or Los Angeles— reveals that you don't have to settle for basic shapes, but you also have to experiment with different supports and techniques.
In addition to being an opportunity to disconnect from daily stress, in this course you will be able to reconnect with an old art that will provide you with a wide repertoire of techniques and the compilation of a large library of references for infinite projects and applications: tapestries, accessories, fashion, architecture or product.
If you want to deepen the art of macramé, you can expand your knowledge with other courses by Belén Senra: Introduction to macramé: creation of a decorative tapestry and Design of macramé accessories .

A course by Belen Senra
Although Belén Senra started working in large multinationals as an interior designer, she currently travels the world as a nomadic textile artist, learning all kinds of artisan techniques of textile decoration. These trips help her get inspired and create new collections based on the culture and tradition of the places she visits.
He has founded his own brand, RanRan Design, which focuses on the creation of textile decorations mixing the traditional and the contemporary, having the opportunity to work on projects for both private residences and hotel and restaurant facilities, among which are the Novu Hotel Robert de Niro or the Aguas de Ibiza spa, among many others.

En las partes donde se deben acomodar las cuerdas no explica bien como hacerlo por tanto en algunos momentos de desajustaba, desacomodaban mis nudos , en ese sentido resulto algo frustrante, por lo demás bien .
She is a great teacher and I learned a lot . I recommend👍
Wonderful course by a very calm gentle teacher. I love the wide variety of knots taught in the course, some of which I've never seen before. I have bought another of her course as well. I look forward to making some lovely wall hangings and rope ties using these knots.
Excelente me encanto, muy didacticala Srta. Belen
Eu Luiza Sou da cidade de Manaus -AM-BRASIL, gosto muito como a Belen Senra transmite seus conhecimentos em macramê com tanto carinho levando aos apreciadores desta arte com tanta facilidade suas criatividades incentivando todos a se conhecer interiormente para criar seus próprios tutoriais misturando cores dando vida a imaginação. Ela e minha referencia nesta linda arte.
