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.
Miniature clay instructor certification course has started in Amsterdam!
(As of now, this course will be offered only in Japanese.)
The first lesson started with an explanation of clay and tools.
Then they learned how to make the color and made some fruits and vegetables.., apples, bananas, lemons and pumpkins.
What a cute fruits and vegetables!
After it will be colored, it will look more like bananas or a pumpkins.
This is the first work, but everyone made them very well. I'm looking forward to seeing various works will be completed soon.
It's a pity that all five of them can't take lessons together for a while because of Corona restrictions , but I'm glad that this member met and we can enjoy lessons every week from now on.
Dutch lady who is studying Japanese is also participating in this course. Since I opened miniature clay class in the Netherlands, I would like local people to participate. I'm really happy that the Dutch lady participated in it.
Thanks for starting the course and meeting these people through miniature clay.
