We made flower accessories using Japanese-patterned cloth.
A Dutch lady participated today. Three people were scheduled to participate but due to circumstances, a lady who was planning to come with friend from far away couldn’t come suddenly, so it became a one-on-one lesson.
In Today’s workshop, she could make two works with a large flower and a small flower, and she chose hair pin and charm. The hair pin was for her daughter and the charm was for herself.
She likes Japan and also makes bags and accessories..etc using Japanese-patterned cloth. I’m glad Dutch people likes Japanese things and makes Japanese craft like this.
Since there was only one participant, we were able to talk about various things and I had a good time. I think I am really happy to be holding workshops whenever people came and could interact like this.

*Although the corona restrictions have been eased, the number of infected people are increasing. At Coloratura workshop, I try to prevent infection to disinfect the table and doorknobs … and ventilate regularly. I also ask all the participants to take measure to prevent infection like wearing face mask..etc
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.
