Hi, I’m Saki, the hands behind Knot 'n Knot. I’m a Mizuhiki artist based in Hornsby, NSW, and I run workshops to share this beautiful Japanese craft with others.

I’ve always loved making things, but when I first tried Mizuhiki, something just clicked. I was drawn in by the soothing process of tying each knot and the deeper meaning behind every design—wishes for happiness, love, and long-lasting connections. That quiet beauty, mixed with tradition, made me fall in love with the craft. Creating Mizuhiki helps me feel connected to my Japanese roots, and it's become a gentle, joyful part of my life.

What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing people light up when they try something new. It’s such a joy to share the excitement I feel about Mizuhiki and watch it spread. Whether you're here to relax, learn a new skill, or simply make something beautiful, I aim to make the experience fun, welcoming, and meaningful.

In my workshops, I don’t just teach technique—I also love sharing the stories behind Mizuhiki: the traditions, customs, and symbolism that make it more than just a craft. My background in education (both in Japan and Australia) helps me tailor classes to different ages and learning styles, so everyone feels comfortable and supported.

Whether you're completely new to Mizuhiki or just curious, I’d love to welcome you to a workshop and help you create something truly special.
