Hinamatsuri festival is coming soon in Japan. Yesterday, I held a Hina dolls making workshop and the sisters participated.
The lady who applied knew my workshop at Japan Festival held in Amstelveen last year and were interested in it, and her sister and niece also like it. And three of them applied this time together. Her niece wasn’t able to come yesterday, but sisters were having fun together.
They made lanterns, small hina arare and hishi mochi (sweets for Hina doll festival) as well as two dolls. There are many things to make in this work!
This work is a bit more difficult than some of the other works, but they made each piece well and very cute works have been completed.
The ladies love miniatures and enjoyed the workshop. They said they would like to participated again, and I'm so happy.

Today, a person who is returning to Japan next month joined this workshop with friend.
They created a windmill and lots of tulips, place the tulips in ready-made wooden shoes, and arrange them as they like. It was difficult to make so many tulips, but as they made some, they got better and better.
They also made cute windmills and it was completed ! Both of them were very happy and said, “ It's so cute! “ I’m glad that they were satisfied (^^)
I would be happy if she displays it with her memorial photo of the Netherlands when she return to Japan.

Yesterday, many people came and experienced the Coloratura‘s workshops.
I felt that the number of visitors to the festival overall was lower than last year due to the heat of over 30℃, but all the six Coloratura workshops I held were all full, except for the Origami workshop.
When I asked the people who participated the workshops, I found that there were more people saw my workshop and applied there rather than those who came to my workshop getting information in advance.
I'm glad I’m happy to make many people known Coloratura’s workshop and participants enjoyed them.
Also I am happy a lady asked me the way to reserve the workshops in advance, and both mother and daughter were looking forward to coming, as well as some people those who participated last year came again as repeaters.

Yesterday, in fact, was the just two-year since I came to the Netherlands.
During two years, I participated in various events and markets, held miniature clay lessons and workshops…
I tried my best, met a lot of people and was able to do many things like this.
Thank you for your continued support.
✳︎ For the people who were unable to participate due to lack of seat this time, I look forward to your participation at another opportunity.
There are no plans to hold workshops at events like this Japan Festival for the time being, but Coloratura holds workshops from time to time.
