About the Instructor: I am a certified temari master (shihan) with the Japan Temari Association. After moving from New York to Tokyo, I fell in love with temari and have dedicated the past 18 years to perfecting my skills. In 2022, I founded my temari jewelry brand, Miwa Temari. Whether you are a craft enthusiast or a curious traveler, I offer professional, bilingual introductions to one of Japan's most beautiful fiber art traditions.
