Yesterday, some people who were scheduled to participate were unable to attend, so only one person attended the workshop.
In this workshop, we will make a lot of things, but she made them quickly and very well.
She has successfully completed a cute piece of work!
I wonder where it will be displayed…
I would be happy if these cute handmade dolls could decorate a room ♪
☆ Since there are people who were unable to attend this time and also some people who have applied the "Miniature Hina Doll" workshop on another day, I’m thinking of holding a workshop around September after the holidays.
If you are interested, please contact me.
☆ Coloratura offers also other one-day miniature clay workshops from time to time.
This is an instructor certification course that is only available in Japanese, but sisters and her daughter wanted to take the course together, so I arranged the course to start in English.
Since then, they had been making many vegetables and fruits.
They learned the basics of miniature clay, from the types of clay and how to mix colors, to various ways of making things.
Some pieces were a little difficult to make shapes but they enjoyed making and great “vegetable frame" has been completed today.
Both they and I are happy that they have created a one-of-a-kind piece of work.
We made small Kabuto (a decorative samurai helmet) and Koinobori (carp streamers)with clay.
In Japan, boy's Festival is coming soon. It’s nice to make seasonal items like this.
Today's work was a bit difficult, but it turned out to be such a wonderful piece! (Some participants left early, so we can’t take photo of everyone’s finished work together, and the carp streamer pole was not yet glued though…)

Children who joined the miniature clay lesson last summer came back with their friends to join the lesson again. The children are in 4th grade, 2nd grade, and 1st grade.
They requested something that could be made in about 1 to 1.5 hours, and this time they chose a small case with a windmill and tulips.
Tiny windmills and tiny tulips! 🌷 Some parts were a little difficult for children but they all worked diligently.
Even though a girl is only in 1st grade, she hardly needed my help at all and quietly and skillfully made the work. Another child struggled a bit with making the tulips and when I suggested to help to make a few (out of the 6), he said he would do it himself. .. It's nice to see them concentrating and working hard.
Everyone did their best. 😊👏
It would be great if the children enjoyed the process of making and are satisfied with the finished works.

Hinamatsuri festival is coming soon in Japan. Yesterday, I held a Hina dolls making workshop and the sisters participated.
The lady who applied knew my workshop at Japan Festival held in Amstelveen last year and were interested in it, and her sister and niece also like it. And three of them applied this time together. Her niece wasn’t able to come yesterday, but sisters were having fun together.
They made lanterns, small hina arare and hishi mochi (sweets for Hina doll festival) as well as two dolls. There are many things to make in this work!
This work is a bit more difficult than some of the other works, but they made each piece well and very cute works have been completed.
The ladies love miniatures and enjoyed the workshop. They said they would like to participated again, and I'm so happy.
