I held a one-day miniature clay workshop "Wagashi (Japanese sweets)" in Amsterdam.
Today, four people participated in the workshop.
It was the first time for everyone to participate, but all did very well ! They were all friendly and cheerful people, and we enjoyed the workshop both making and chatting.
Dango, dorayaki, daifuku, rice crackers...
A wonderful piece of works have completed. The finished products are cute and well made, aren’t they?
I'm glad that participants enjoyed the process of making it and were satisfied with the finished work.

Today, the 6th grade children came to make small sweets.
The girl who participated in “wagashi” workshop with mother a few weeks ago, and girls who participated in the workshop at the Japan Festival joined again.
Everyone is interested in miniature clay and made it very well.
And they finished making it much earlier than the scheduled end time of the lesson time. wonderful !
I am glad that they enjoyed this time as well.

Children who came to the miniature clay workshop a few weeks ago wanted to make something else during the summer holiday!
And today they came to make “western sweets”.
It was a short version, which can be done in just over an hour, include ice creams, fruit tart and cookies and lollipop, and finished them on keychains or figurines.
It was a bit difficult for the little girls to roll up the lollipop candy, but they concentrated to do.
And very cute ones completed.
I hope they enjoyed today’s workshop too.
They concentrated on making that looked delicious, so they felt hungry when they finished it... and "Snack time!”
After eating a snack, they gladly took the finished work and went home.

We held a workshop of miniature clay "Japanese sweets (Wagashi)”.
Today, a child and a man also participated. The participants are a good balance of Japanese and local people.
Everyone made very well and quickly. Cute, tiny Japanese sweets were completed one after another.
The 6th grade girl is also very good at making. It seems that she likes to make something... "What one likes, one will do best.”
In this work, in addition to claywork, participants fold tiny origami cranes with 3cm square origami paper. For local people it seemed a little difficult, but they were able to fold it properly.
I hope all of participants enjoyed workshop.
Participants who is repeater (it was the second time for Japanese sweets), who joined my workshop at Japan Festival and came to this workshop , who came from Eindhoven…
Thank you to everyone who participated.

It is the work that will be a memory of the Netherlands, including windmill, tulips and clog with tulips.
At first, participants said , “making tulips is difficult” or “the size is completely different”.., but after making a few tulips they were able to make them well.
It was a bit hard to make a lot of large, medium, and small tulips, but everyone concentrated and made them very well.
They also made cute windmills, and finally placed and pasted all the things they made and the letters they chose (they chose the colors and letters in advance, and I prepared them), and it completed!
Everyone did a great job !
I am happy to hear that they are satisfied with the finished work and that they enjoyed to make it very much.
The last photo (the photos in the photo frames) are originally in the frame(*^_^*), but if they put their favorite photo in it, will it become a treasure...?😊

Yesterday, many people came and experienced the Coloratura‘s workshops.
I felt that the number of visitors to the festival overall was lower than last year due to the heat of over 30℃, but all the six Coloratura workshops I held were all full, except for the Origami workshop.
When I asked the people who participated the workshops, I found that there were more people saw my workshop and applied there rather than those who came to my workshop getting information in advance.
I'm glad I’m happy to make many people known Coloratura’s workshop and participants enjoyed them.
Also I am happy a lady asked me the way to reserve the workshops in advance, and both mother and daughter were looking forward to coming, as well as some people those who participated last year came again as repeaters.

Yesterday, in fact, was the just two-year since I came to the Netherlands.
During two years, I participated in various events and markets, held miniature clay lessons and workshops…
I tried my best, met a lot of people and was able to do many things like this.
Thank you for your continued support.
✳︎ For the people who were unable to participate due to lack of seat this time, I look forward to your participation at another opportunity.
There are no plans to hold workshops at events like this Japan Festival for the time being, but Coloratura holds workshops from time to time.

The Dutch lady participated in the previous "Western sweets" workshop and said that the workshop had a lot of fun and joined again.
It's a detailed work, but both of them made quickly and very well, and it was completed much shorter time.
In this Wagashi workshop, participants fold origami cranes and the Dutch lady were also very good at folding small crane using 3cm square origami paper.
She is a fan of the action game "Ryu ga Gotoku", so she brought a figurine of that character and took his pictures with Japanese sweets she made.
The size of the miniature sweets was perfect for that character, but there was a gap between the cute sweets and the character's atmosphere… it was funny, and the other participant and I also had fun to see it.
We are talking about the participant’s favorite figure, AnimeCon, about Japan, and introducing each other while making the miniature sweets. It's fun to interact each other.
I think both of them enjoyed “Wagashi” workshop today.
