A course by Flo Corretti (Tarareo)
Flo Corretti’s passion is creating objects with her hands. Although she graduated with a degree in art history and was creating content for university editorials professionally, creativity was always present in her life in some way. She has created photography projects, patented and licensed products, and collaborated with small brands on different embroidery projects.
In 2019, she discovered the possibilities of creating with acrylic resin and began exploring the material on her own. That same year, she founded Tarareo, a brand composed of decorative objects. She was also selected to participate in Festivalet, the most popular handicrafts creative market in Barcelona, Spain. Since then, her work has featured in magazines like Arquitectura y Diseño, La Vanguardia, and El Periódico, as well as in Fundación Mapfre, in Madrid.

En general muy bien, instrucciones detalladas y útiles. Sin embargo, esperaba que hiciera más hincapié en las técnicas de marmolado y terrazo, y menos en la parte introductoria.
