“The workshop advertised all the materials plus the chance to learn 15 stitches, but we learned so much more than that. Such a well planned, well structured workshop from a kind and knowlesgeable teacher. We now have all the skills, reference material, equipment and supplies to finish our projects at home”

“I absolutely loved the workshop, Santo is a lovely person and a great teacher, you could feel his love for this craft and his skills are tremendous. He managed to give enough attention to all participants while practicing, and also shared many useful tips to try at home. Definitely recommended! ”

“The embroidery workshop that Santo gave was a wonderful experience! It was really lovely prepared and everyone got their own little bag with all the essentials to start embroidery. He explained everything very well and more than once, so everyone was able to work in their own pace. Which was great for me because I’m a slow crafter! 🙂 He was happy to help with every question and gave great advice. I wasn’t able to finish my project at the workshop (as said before…I am slow). But he explained all the remaining steps and we also got a manual for all the stitches needed to take home. So I was able to finish the project easily at home. The atmosphere of the workshop was really warm and inviting. And he was even happy about the little mistakes (knots etc.) that happen when you learn something new and happy to help. Which made this a great learning experience. I would be more than happy to do another workshop with Santo! I can only recommend it! 🙂 ”

“Really enjoyed this class, even though I had no stitching skills before hand. Santo Cielo is a great teacher, who will give you just the right hints for improving your work. Thank you so much again, hope to attend one of your inspiring workshops soon again! Der Workshop war klasse, dabei hatte ich keinerlei Vorkenntnisse. Santo Cielo ist ein toller Lehrer, der genau die richtigen Tipps gibt, um Dich voranzubringen. Nochmals vielen Dank, hoffe, dass ich bald wieder an einem Deiner inspirierenden Workshops teilnehmen kann!”

“Santo is truly a patient and very friendly person and a great instructor. Even with almost no experince in hand embroidery I had a good time attenting this workshop. It was a nice and positive atmosphere and Santo prepared all the materials in advance so we could start learning the different stitches right away. Santo made everybody feel welcome and the atmosphere during the workshop was very friendly and there was no pressure to succeed at the first attempt. Everybody worked at their own pace and even though I was working slower than the other participants Santo never hesitated to come back to me to show me the following steps. Santo gave very clear and good instructions and shared his tips and tricks for hand embroidery. He managed to pay attention to each and every participant, encouraged everybody and helped us improving our technique. This workshop is suitable for beginners without experience in hand embroidery and we even got our own starter kit to continue embroidering at home. It is definitely a great experience with a very kind and patient instructor. Totally recommend. Thank you again, Santo!”

Absolutely brilliant. Very well organized, clear demonstrations and instructions. The course was suitable for those new to embroidery and for those who have some experience. The little pendant is super cute. I will definitely be looking for more courses with Santos in the future.

“From beginning to end, it was an extremely cozy and friendly atmosphere. I had never stitched in a group before and I definitely want to repeat that. Santiago was so patient and encouraging, all while giving bilingual instructions (en & sp) – chapeau. I loved the design and even though I had some stitching experience, I learned so many new techniques. Can’t wait to do my homework :)) mil gracias santo!”

Absolutely fantastic evening. Santo was kind, funny, patient and knowledgeable in his field. He is a brilliant teacher! I would highly recommend him. ThaMatthewnk you!
