A course by Svetlana Faulkner
Svetlana Faulkner is a couture flower accessory artist based in the United Kingdom, in the city of Norwich. Ever since she was a child, she loved making things with her hands. It fascinated her how, by simply using some yarn or fabric, she could create a new item of clothing, seemingly as if by magic. Her great-grandmother taught her basic knitting stitches, which helped her create her clothing when she was a teenager.
She started listing her items for sale on Etsy, which quickly led to a large following. This success inspired her to create her brand PresentPerfect Creations, which has since been featured in a number of magazines in Japan, Australia, and even British Vogue.
