Special Event: Reiko Ogata Fair celebrating the launch of "The Sheep’s Hat" We are excited to announce a special fair featuring Reiko Ogata at WALNUT Tokyo and WALNUT Kyoto.
Reiko Ogata is a household name for anyone who enjoys working with wool, from spinning to felting. As a wool craft specialist and "world-traveling spinner," she also shares her expertise as an instructor for our wool classes at WALNUT Tokyo.
