Très bon cours, explications très claires. Facile pour débutant.
Très agréable d'avoir un cours en français !
Le projet final d'une réalisation de coussin est à la fois utile et créatif. J'ai apprécié l'explication détaillée du processus de couture de la housse.
J'ai apprécié le calme de l'enseignante.
J'aimerais un autre cours avec elle, avec plus de points, et un dessin, ou peinture, plus compliqué, avec plus de couleurs, toujours avec son approche "dessin = broderie".

Un vrai bonheur de suivre un cours avec Célia Bruneau que j'admire énormément.
Cela m'apporte de regarder autrement, envisager d'autres perspectives et travaux de points que ceux que j'utilise quotidiennement. Je me régale ! Merci !
