Tiny little sushi pieces! This was the first session of a two-part workshop.
Today, we focused on making nigiri sushi. Tuna, salmon, squid, shrimp (to be painted next time) and egg… At events like the Japan Festival, I had the participants slice the tuna and salmon I prepared, but this time we made everything.
Since the pieces are so small, it was quite a challenging, but everyone did it very well.
In the next session, we’ll be making gunkan (battleship-style sushi), rolled sushi, miso soup, and more to complete the set.
I am pleased to offer miniature clay workshop where you can create small, cute Sushi.
You will be able to make some kind of sushi( nigiri, gunkan, and roll sushi), as well as miso soup and chopsticks. ( Due to time constraint, tablewares will be prepared in advance.
Please join us!

Four people participated in the workshop today. 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 everyone worked quickly and well.
Each completed work has its own unique characteristics. Some people arranged the tulips in color, while others placed them randomly. Some positioned them straight, while some tightly at a slight angle... Each one became a one-of-a-kind photo frame in the world.
I would be happy if they displays it with their favorite photo.

The base for the sushi for the miniature clay workshop is nearly complete.
At the Japan Festival held in Amstelveen last June, the small miniature clay sushi (tuna, salmon and cucumber rolls) were very popular, so I have made a version with more variety.
✴︎The squares in this photo are 1cm square (for size reference).
There are still some final adjustments to be made. I need to think of the best way to guide beginners smoothly through the process and estimate the workshops time, and plan the workshop flow, and prepare items such as utensils and materials in advance.
Although there’s still work left to do, I’ll try to complete everything and provide the work shop soon.

In this workshop, we made a windmill and many tulips, arranging the tulips in pre−made clogs.
Participants can choose their preferred color and word for their frame in advance, and today’s participants chose "Netherlands" and "Best Memories".
They made very first and the lesson went very smoothly...
and beautiful photo frames were completed.
One of today’s participants was a young lady on a working holiday. She said she has been in the Netherlands for about four months, and still have several months ahead, so I’m sure she will have many more fun and memorable experiences.
I would be very happy if they could put their memorable photo in the "Best Memories" and “Netherlands” photo frame they made and display it after she returns to Japan.
Today, three local participants joined the workshop. Two of them participated in a workshop on other works a few months ago, and this was their second time to join.
Making "Hina dolls" requires a lot of detailed work and is a little difficult, but everyone enjoyed the process and concentrated.
They finished the kimonos(Japanese traditional clothes), the dolls’ heads, a fan, a scepter... They also made lanterns, Hishi mochi, and Hina arare.
Participants can make wide variety of works, and are very satisfied when they are completed.
Today, we were happy to have completed three cute and wonderful works.

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.
