Manos que bordan

Want to learn to express yourself with needle and thread? Why not try volumetric embroidery alongside Carolina Pérez Bustos, the Colombian artist behind Manos que bordan, who's been telling stories through her artisanal textile pieces since 2010.

Carolina shows you how to make textured 3D embroidery combining a range of volumetric stitches and beadwork to help your pieces stand out from the crowd. Create an embroidered artwork inspired by everyday textures.

Description

Learn to transform everyday textures, like clothes and flowers, into embroidery pieces by combining volumetric stitches and beadwork

Start the course by hearing a little bit about Carolina Pérez as she talks about how she started embroidering and founded Manos que bordan. She also shares her greatest influences.

First familiarize yourself with the necessary materials and see how to warm up your hands before getting to work. Get your creative juices flowing looking for reference materials and put together a mood board to get your project off the ground running.

Let the magic begin! Discover how to create a pattern, set up your embroidery hoop, and transfer your drawings to the material. Carolina also walks you through choosing a color palette.

Next, learn the loop, Rococo, knit, ceylon, and crochet stitches. Now add texture to your piece using thread, yarn, beads, and bags of imagination. Then see how to add shine to make your artwork pop.

Lastly, see how to finish off your piece as well as some examples of how to display it other than on the embroidery hoop itself. Hear some final tips for photographing your embroidery and how to wash it correctly.
