• 5/5 from Casandra Wang, attended Sep 2026: I LOVED my experience at my kimekomi doll making workshop!! I made a jizo doll and it turned out so incredibly cute looking, and the process of making one felt so therapeutic! The fabric colors they had available allowed us to get creative with our end product and I couldn't stop taking pictures of my friend and I's dolls. :) Our teacher was very warm, friendly, encouraging, and was actively walking all around the room to make sure everyone got the help they needed! I'll be back to make a sparrow, goldfish, or daruma another day and highly recommend this to all my friends/anyone interested in trying a cute new hobby with low difficulty level :) Thanks so much for the class!!

• 5/5 from Morgan Herbener, attended Jan 2026: We absolutely loved our class! Very grateful they were willing to stay open in the storm. It was fun to learn the background and history behind kimekomi dolls and then to make them. The instructions were clear and the dolls were easy to make as well. We had a wonderful time!

• 5/5 from Alysa Cheung, attended Jul 2025: Super fun class! The teacher was so kind and patient with explain steps and giving tips. The kimekomi doll we had was a bit harder and we did not finish within the class period, but we were offered to purchase the tools to finish at home. Otherwise, we were provided glue and the remaining fabrics and encouraged to finish when we could. I ended up taking some creative liberties with my cat and LOVE how it turned out!

She also had beautiful examples of dolls made by her and her aunt. We were very focused and the time flew by! We really appreciated the time they put into the class.
• 5/5 from Jennifer Chen, attended May 2025: Still in the process of making the sparrow—I really loved how friendly and creative everyone was, and the sensei was incredibly helpful. Overall, it was a great experience! I just wish I had more time to finish it. It was surprisingly easy and fun to do!
• 5/5 from Aegina Barnes, attended Mar 2025: Keiko was delightful! Her presentation and instructions were clear and interesting, and she circulated constantly to make sure people were not having problems. I was so pleased with my little temari ball, I decided to do another workshop and to try some kimekomi at home. It was a great use of 90 minutes -- just the right amount of challenge and a fun discovery of a new art form. Plus, we had a wonderful little product to take home!
• 5/5 from Mariko Hunt, attended Mar 2025: Such a fun class! Enjoyed the teacher’s charisma and patience. She was very helpful and really made the class enjoyable. Looking forward to taking more classes!!
