A course by María Malatrama
Textile artist María Hernández has always been very fond of everything handmade. Her passion for handcrafted work took shape and color when, in 2015, she learned about weaving tapestries with a comb loom.
Little by little, her creations and techniques became her profession and, in 2019, she decided to show the world her creative contribution to textile art with the birth of her own brand, Malatrama.
