The teacher

Marina Landi has a degree in engineering and fine arts. She has worked for many years with engineers and architects, creating decorative mosaics for large surfaces. In 2000, she discovered patchwork and fell in love with this art form which has much in common with mosaics. Marina applied her knowledge, experience and previous techniques to create artistic quilts. She has dedicated herself exclusively to this art for 15 years and teaches her technique. Marina enjoys depicting images, especially people's faces, as capturing expressions and feelings on small pieces of fabric is always a great challenge for her.
