Temari Video Review
-
"Japanese thread balls have evolved over the past millennium or more from
recreational applications to exquisite gifts of staggering variety.
When Diana Vandervoort and her mother, Dorothy Russell '34, received
such gifts, they set about to understand the art and craft involved. Diana has written
several books on the subject, and this video is the companion to her first
book published by Japan Publications Trading Co., Ltd., which has the same
title.
Together they form a primer for learning Temari through progressive
lessons that equip students to continue on their own. Even though this is a
primer, it covers all three divisions of Temari--polar, double 8ths, and
pentagons. The instruction in the video is so disarmingly clear and
complete that a beginner would tackle his or her first thread ball with
perfect confidence...."

Rave Reviews of the video:
"Diana, it is wonderful! Wow, I cannot begin to imagine the time and effort that went into it.. It supports the book beautifully and even on its own it is superb. I've rarely seen an instructional video on
anything that is this well done. I know you said it took forever, and I can see
why. Considering the content and run time (it goes 2 hrs. 18 mins. by my count) the price is more than reasonable."
