Meet Agnes Tay — LEAD Master Trainer and Curriculum Developer for Asia, certified artisan, and one of the most experienced voices in Palette Japan Asia's growing community of craft educators.

​

Check out her interview with Radio CNA938 with Melanie Oliveiro here she shares about her Japan Retreat and the inaugural Palette Japan Festival, which she spearheaded.

 

Holding DDDLP and ACLP certifications and backed by an impressive 35 years of hands-on experience across business, marketing, branding, publicity, and business development, Agnes brings a uniquely all-rounded and deeply practical perspective to the art of Tsumami Zaiku.

 

Her training goes far beyond technique — she equips every student with real business knowledge, personal branding strategies, and the creative confidence needed to build something meaningful from their craft.

 

Passionate, seasoned, and genuinely invested in every student's journey, Agnes doesn't just teach Tsumami Zaiku — she empowers people to turn a beautiful art form into a purposeful and fulfilling chapter of their lives.​
