A course by Marta Porcel Vilchez
Yarn, thread, buttons, and ribbons were Marta Porcel's passion as a little girl. Although she is a trained psychologist and professional marketing expert, in 2016, she decided to devote herself to what she loves full time: teaching knitting and showing the world what you can create with your own hands.
To further fuel her passion, Marta launched Creativa Atelier, her own website and online pattern store where she provides step-by-step instructions on how to knit and make clothing and accessories. Her work has caught the attention of well-known industry brands and has allowed her to collaborate with big names like Katia Yarns and Fabrics, Anchor Crafts, We Are Knitters, DMC, and Knitive. Her work has also been featured in magazines and publications such as The Sewing Box Magazine, Labores del Hogar, Molly Makes, Fair Cotton Crochet, Ser Padres.
