Hisano Takei
7 February, 2008
Hisano has been fascinated with making jewelry since childhood.While studying her Masters in NY, she expected to devote herself solely in metalsmithing but to her surprise, she stumbled into another medium: wool. What started as an innocent curiosity engulfed the whole 2 years of her masters program. Using her jewelry making skills as her backbone, Hisano investigated felting, molding, starching, and other traditional and non-traditional ways of working with wool.
