Hello, I'm Dandy, the creator.
He runs a dandy workshop and works on crafts that weave traditional knots in a modern way.
Like many students, I didn't do traditional knotting from the beginning, and I graduated from the Department of Industrial Design and worked as a designer at an IT company.
When I live a life that pursues a rapidly changing world, I would rather I have a thirst for the emotional things I do with my hands.
I came across traditional knots by chance and fell in love with the fun of weaving them one by one with all my heart.
In the spring of 2021, I am trying to make the meaning of traditional knots known to many people by publishing the book “Weaving Beauty, Traditional Knot”.
Due to the Corona crisis, there are no more face-to-face classes at the workshop, but I would like to meet many students again and share the beauty of traditional knots through the 3rd class.
