Kazuko Miyai and Yukiko Miyai endeavor to improve and develop the DECO Clay Craft techniques and popularize this creative and versatile artistic form. Their aim is to expand and produce a wide range of outstanding art form from items that enrich our lives to artistic decor and wedding accessories. They also attach great importance to promoting friendship among fellow members.

DECOMAGIC was developed in Japan by Kazuko Miyai who founded DECO Clay Craft Academy in 1981. Her passion for crafting inspired her to work with a chemist to develop the perfect clay. When she was finally satisfied with the results, she began doing presentations and conducting workshops to share her love of clay crafting.

Kazuko has authored more than twenty craft books in Japan, and she continues to develop and enhance her unique techniques to greater levels of sophistication and complexity. She also actively exhibits her works each year, sharing her new techniques with audiences abroad and has certified two thousand instructors across Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In 2006, DECO Japan marked their 25th anniversary, which was celebrated with outstanding recognition and support.

After training under her mother, Yukiko Miyai brought this unique concept to Honolulu and opened her first studio on Kapahulu Avenue in 2000. Thanks to Yukiko, the dedicated instructors and her staff, the company has expanded throughout the state of Hawaii and California. She has also diversified the product line by introducing tropical floral designs indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands. She has been a featured instructor across the United States, and has authored her own books as well. Since its conception in 2000, the U.S. branch has taught to over 300 individuals, with 15 becoming certified instructors.

Over the past 25 years we have been in the forefront of our craft by teaching new and creative ways of clay crafting. We will continue to advance our craft by developing our skills and techniques while instructing classes, authoring educational materials, producing seminars, exhibits and workshops.
