PROFILE

Yukiko Sato

I originally started working with wool felt simply because I wanted to create something that looked just like my pet dog,but the craft turned out to be my calling.
I began instructing classes at several culture centers in 2005, and I have had the honor of receiving multiple awards at exhibitions in Japan and overseas.
In 2016, I was designated an honorary guest member of the Royal Society of British Artists.
I also accept orders for custom-made pieces designed to resemble your own pet dog.
