When I lived in the US, I often took stitching classes with my local guilds and I went to Calloway School of Needlearts twice and attended EGA National Seminars quite a few times. In Japan, I haven't had those kinds of opportunities, but I have taken other types of craft classes since moving here seven years ago, most of them while traveling. Here is a recap on classes, with links to the original posts.

I like Keisuke Serizawa. He is most
famous of Bingata Artist,he lived in Shizuoka.Your the work is fantastic and beautiful!
You have such an open mind and are always eager to learn. Great character.
Which of the classes did you enjoy the most?
You look lovely in the pictures! Your loveliness matches well the loveliness of your handwork.
What a fantastic array of classes! Looking forward to seeing what your next class is.
With all those classes you are a wealth of knowledge. Glass blowing is something I have always wanted to try.
I love that you stretch yourself with taking all kinds of creative classes, regardless of media. You've done some really stellar work and I'm so impressed with it all! Really beautiful things and so diverse. Do you have a favorite (besides stitching?). And I loved seeing your happy face being creative!
I love how you take every opportunity to learn something new!
