Photographer and Crochet Artist

Leire Villar learned how to crochet more than 10 years ago and has been passionate about it ever since. She loves that you can create a unique object with just a needle, yarn, and orderly rows of knots. Under 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. 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.
