PlusO curso é bem detalhado e a peça que é o exercício do curso é bem possível de executar pois as ferramentas são relativamente simples.
A aplicação da palhinha em objetos e móveis está sendo muito utilizada, e resulta em peças contemporâneas mas com apelo retrô.
Sabendo que não é o objetivo deste curso, seria interessante um curso que nos ensinasse a fazer o trançado com a palha.

O curso não ensina a você fazer o trançado em palha, apenas a colocação em móveis. O curso não foi útil, pensei que iria aprender a trançar a palha. Ficou aquém das expectativas, não recomendo.
