My daughter's friend was interested in miniature clay and came to make miniature Hina dolls.
She likes Japan and is also studying Japanese. She enjoyed making Hina dolls, and when her work is finished, she said “it’s so pretty!” and looked happy.
I'm glad that the young people are interested in Japanese things and enjoy making miniature dolls.
* Japanese girls day” Hinamatsuri” (3rd of March) is coming soon. Corona regulations have been ease, so I am planning to hold "Hina dolls" workshop from mid-February. I will inform you later on this Instagram and website.

Naoko Tobe Coloratura 〜Miniature clay & Japanese handcraft workshop
Today, I hold a "miniature clay trial lesson" in English and made "Western sweets".
Dutch mother and her daughter and a Japanese participated today.
The Dutch lady was selling nice plates on Facebook's Marketplace the other day, and I met her when I bought the plates and went to pick them up. When we had a little chat, talked about work and a bit…and she said that her daughter liked this kind of workshop. Then two of them came for workshop today.
Before starting, when they saw the real size, they wondered if they could make a quite small things…
But they made well and said they felt happy to do it ! I am also very happy to see their happy face.
I am glad I am doing miniature clay and thanks for them to interested in my workshop and coming to me… I felt really happy holding workshop today. The Japanese who participated today came to the second trial lesson. I’m glad and thanks for her.
