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.

Today, a person who is returning to Japan next month joined this workshop with friend.
They created a windmill and lots of tulips, place the tulips in ready-made wooden shoes, and arrange them as they like. It was difficult to make so many tulips, but as they made some, they got better and better.
They also made cute windmills and it was completed ! Both of them were very happy and said, “ It's so cute! “ I’m glad that they were satisfied (^^)
I would be happy if she displays it with her memorial photo of the Netherlands when she return to Japan.

This time, they chose “Western sweets” that also included Dutch sweets “stroopwafel'' and “poffertje.
While making it, I heard comments such as "It looks delicious" and "It's so cute”! Everyone really concentrated and made cute things one after another. Good job~👏

My friend asked me to hold a miniature clay workshop for her daughter's 9th birthday party, so I went for a “miniature sweets'' workshop yesterday.
We made lollipops, cookies and tarts, and ice cream that the children love.
Each child chose their favourite color for lollipop and made different colour’s. They decorated the tart however they like. Some kids put a lot of fruit on top, while others just put their favorite fruits on top.
It looks like they were having fun talking and making it with friends!
And great piece of works have completed ❣️
I would be happy if they had fun and making miniature clay sweets became a memory of her 9th birthday.
