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.

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.

I held a workshop for miniature clay “Japanese hina dolls”. Three friends applied to join the workshop together.
It was detailed work, but Participants were having fun and sometimes concentrating. They made the kimono(Japanese traditional clothes), the dolls’ heads, a fan, a scepter...and also made lanterns, hishi mochi, and hina arare(Japanese sweet rice cracker).
This is the work that you can make Hina dolls and many other things, and has a high level of satisfaction when completed.
The popular Hina dolls have been completed and a participant said, I can't believe I can make something like this! They were very satisfied. I'm glad they enjoyed this workshop.

Upon request, I held the workshop at a participant’s home today.
The workshop went on fun atmosphere among friends. Dango, dorayaki, daifuku, rice crackers...
During they were making their own works, they complimented each other, and also said that the works they had made themselves were "so cute," and enjoyed the process of making. Despite the friendly atmosphere, there were some moments when they were silently concentrating to make.
And here are the finished works that they made one by one for each with their hart. Everyone did very well！
They said, “So cute❣️“ and they looked very happy.
Thank you for participation.
