Yoshiko sensei is so kind and a master at her craft. Loved learning from her and her husband in their little studio. She gave great pointers, where to buy supplies to continue the practice, and is very happy to answer any questions even in email afterwards. I brought a cracked teapot in hopes she could advise me on how to fix it, but she helped me fix it for a small fee during class! It was such a lovely way to spend an afternoon immersed in a Japanese artistry not known by many. Only tip is that it’s difficult to call an Uber at this location, may need to make sure to make other commute arrangements!
