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.
☆ Coloratura offers also other one-day miniature clay workshops from time to time.
Many people participated in Coloratura's miniature clay workshops, origami and other workshops again this year.
All workshops were popular and fully booked.
This year, we were able to use one booth, allowing more people to experience the workshops in a larger space.
It seems that many people saw my workshops and participated on the spot, and I am pleased that more people were able to know about Coloratura's activities through the Japan Festival.
We were also happy to see that there were people who were unable to participate last year and came before the festival started, hoping to participate this year.
It is nice that men and women, adults and children...all kinds of people participate and enjoyed it at this Japan Festival.
Everyone was concentrating during the workshops, but when they finished, they had a wonderful smile(^^) I am glad that many people enjoyed the workshops and am pleased that they were happy.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated and showed interest.
This is an instructor certification course that is only available in Japanese, but sisters and her daughter wanted to take the course together, so I arranged the course to start in English.
Since then, they had been making many vegetables and fruits.
They learned the basics of miniature clay, from the types of clay and how to mix colors, to various ways of making things.
Some pieces were a little difficult to make shapes but they enjoyed making and great “vegetable frame" has been completed today.
Both they and I are happy that they have created a one-of-a-kind piece of work.
The Japan Festival in Amstelveen is one of the largest Japanese events in the Netherlands, with over 10,000 visitors.
At the event Coloratura will hold Japanese-style handicraft workshops again this year.
The miniature clay (Japanese food, Japanese sweets) workshop that is popular every year...
This time I will be offering small sushi and Japanese sweets.
I will also have workshops that you can make Japanese-style fabric charms to attach to your bag or cell phone, as well as chopstick holder and coaster using origami paper.
Please come and join us.
Location: Amstelveen Stadsplein
Date and time: Sunday, June 30th, 12:00-18:00
*From children old enough to sit and work alone to adults (since miniature clay 'sushi' is somewhat difficult.)
There are also many Japanese food stalls and stage performances.
Please come with your family and friends and enjoy!
✳︎ Every year, the workshops were fully booked and many people were unable to join. If you are interested, please come early.
✳︎ To allow as many people as possible to participate, we will limit participation to one session per person (if there are spaces available at the start of each workshop, you may be able to join on the spot).
We made small Kabuto (a decorative samurai helmet) and Koinobori (carp streamers)with clay.
In Japan, boy's Festival is coming soon. It’s nice to make seasonal items like this.
Today's work was a bit difficult, but it turned out to be such a wonderful piece! (Some participants left early, so we can’t take photo of everyone’s finished work together, and the carp streamer pole was not yet glued though…)

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.
