Phase 20

At the completion of Phase X, students have had some experience with all of the techniques and with a variety of ground fabrics. In their continuing study they work on ro, metallic fabric, and other unusual fabrics. While the ideal is to continue to take these classes in sequence, some leeway is allowed for individual needs. Designs for more advanced students continue to be added each year. In addition to the phase pieces, many practice designs and a small selection of especially challenging designs are available. These may be worked as students feel that their skill is suitable for the piece. Mr. Tamura also creates special designs to meet individual needs.
