SAORI Classes

Join the SAORI Global community and take classes at our SAORI studio locations in Japan as well as the Registered SAORI Studios located in various parts of the world. Whether you have never woven before, have told yourself that you are not ‘artistic,’ or have been weaving for decades, you can experience the joy and depth of expressing yourself and connecting with others through SAORI.

As representatives of the original family company and community started by SAORI’s founder, Misao Jo, the SAORI Global Network is comprised of studios that...

• Offer classes using SAORI looms and weaving accessories, which have been designed specifically to empower all individuals to express themselves easily and freely and are best suited for the practice of SAORI;

• Are specially trained and committed to sharing SAORI and continuing Misao Jo’s legacy by providing unique spaces, tools and guidance for individuals of all abilities and previous experiences to discover and develop their true, creative selves;

• Share our company’s mission and belief in SAORI’s exceptionally accessible and wide-ranging capacity to build global community and create an inclusive, harmonious and inspired world.
