The student has finished the seventh work in the course, “Flower Frame”. A lot of beautiful and tiny,lovely flowers have been completed (^^)
(You can see how small it is when lined up with a pen)
This work is very difficult and takes time to make many flowers. However, the skills have definitely improved during making one by one and I’m sure students felt even more happy and satisfied when it’s completed. And the process of turning the flowers into bouquets and wreaths is a lot of fun.
I think this is a great piece of work for her. Where will the beautiful flower frame be displayed? Your room will become brighter and nicer!
It is a very happy moment not only for the students, but also for me, as the work was completed.

☆ Coloratura offers miniature clay workshops from time to time.
Bunkasai (sponsored by Jacop ) was held again this year, and Coloratura sold handmade items such as miniature clay and tsumami zaiku(Japanese fabric accessories etc.) crafts.
Many organizations and vendors gathered to share and introduce Japanese things, selling Japanese food, sweets, Japanese style goods... bazaars, calligraphy, Japanese cafe, Japanese songs performed by Japanese chorus groups (I also sang it), and also water balloons (yo-yo) fishing.. and lots more.
At Coloratura, we offer miniature clay products(mainly Japanese-style items such as rice balls and Japanese sweets), Japanese-style fabrics accessories and decorations etc. , and many people were interested and purchased the goods.
We met many new customers as well as friends and acquaintances, people who had participated in my workshops before, and we had a very fun and fulfilling day. I also was able to meet other stall holders around our table. I was happy to be able to participate in this kind of event and was able to introduce Japanese-style items.
I would like to thank everyone at Jacop who hosted Bunkasai, SAKB who provided the venue, the volunteers who helped set up, and also everyone who visited there yesterday.
The Japanese Cultural Festival “BUNKA-SAI'' will be held in Amstelveen again, and Coloratura will also have a stall.
BUNKA-SAI festival will be held by JACOP (Stichting Japanese Communities Platform) at the Nemo Sabo in Amstelveen, and the first event last year was a great success with many visitors. I think this year's event will be even more exciting.
Coloratura have a range of Japanese-style handmade small items and accessories made of clay, as well as flower accessories using Japanese fabrics. I’m preparing various items you can use on a daily basis, such as keychains, bookmarks, magnets, boxes, and decorative items.
There will also be a variety of other shops and events, so please come and visit us. We are looking forward to seeing you at the BUNKA-SAI festival.

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.

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…
