We followed her techniques in Art school, she really inspired us to adopt this Japanese traditional process and adapt it to our own vision. She inspired me to seek out instruction while in Japan. This video showcases what you can learn from her.
I bought this 2 dvd set - it is excellent! Ana Lisa Hedstrom is a gifted teacher. Her instructions are thorough, and while she is calm and grounded, her passion for this craft shines through. I tried making my first arashi yesterday - looks really good. Do not get the cheaper knock- off video produced by Interweave. I got that one, too - gee - really?! It is so bad. I will never buy an Interweave dvd if they think that dvd was worth anything. I feel bad even donating it to the library or Salvation Army.
