A course by Adriana Torres , Embroiderer
Learn all the essential stitches to create raised embroideries step by step
Do you strive to create bolder textures in your embroideries? The raised embroidery technique will enable you to transmit more emotion and volume through a needle and thread. Textile artist Adriana Torres, the founder of the Miga de Pan brand, has been dedicated to the universe of embroidery for over 10 years. She creates unique pieces that can be found on the catwalks of many brands in Paris, London, and South Korea.
In this course, Adriana teaches you the 25 stitches that she used to create her botanical alphabet and explains, step by step, the technique behind each one to create an embroidery piece. With raised embroidery, you will create textures and effects with great visual depth, giving more expression to your creations.

Nice Course, gave good understanding on raised embroidery
Really lovely class and instructor.
La profe me ha parecido estupenda, explica estupendamente.
Volveré a hacer algún otro curso con ella.
Gracias
MUITO SUPERFICIAL E POUCOS PONTOS DE BORDADO.
Excellent course, really inspiring and well-explained. My favourite course on here so far.
I would have loved a written list of materials/supplies required, but it's not a deal-breaker.
