Your instructor

As a dedicated artist and author deeply rooted in the craft of textile creation, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my role as a mentor and teacher in the art of hand-embroidered Japanese rice bags. My approach to creative education is steeped in the philosophy of mindful craftsmanship, where each stitch is an intimate dialogue with the fabric. The practice of embroidery is more than a skill to me—it's a meditative journey that intertwines the beauty of nature with the threads of tradition, reflecting my love for walking barefoot in the forest and embracing the elements in their purest form.

I am honored to guide students through the nuanced world of textiles, sharing techniques honed over years of patient practice and thoughtful exploration. My classes are a sanctuary where creativity thrives, inspired by the organic textures and patterns of the natural world that so deeply influence my work. From the gentle guidance of my own experiences to the collective energy of collaborative learning, I invite you to weave your unique narrative into the canvas of your creations, one thoughtful stitch at a time.
