Tiny little sushi pieces! This was the first session of a two-part workshop.
Today, we focused on making nigiri sushi. Tuna, salmon, squid, shrimp (to be painted next time) and egg… At events like the Japan Festival, I had the participants slice the tuna and salmon I prepared, but this time we made everything.
Since the pieces are so small, it was quite a challenging, but everyone did it very well.
In the next session, we’ll be making gunkan (battleship-style sushi), rolled sushi, miso soup, and more to complete the set.
I am pleased to offer miniature clay workshop where you can create small, cute Sushi.
You will be able to make some kind of sushi( nigiri, gunkan, and roll sushi), as well as miso soup and chopsticks. ( Due to time constraint, tablewares will be prepared in advance.
Please join us!

Four people participated in the workshop today. 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 everyone worked quickly and well.
Each completed work has its own unique characteristics. Some people arranged the tulips in color, while others placed them randomly. Some positioned them straight, while some tightly at a slight angle... Each one became a one-of-a-kind photo frame in the world.
I would be happy if they displays it with their favorite photo.

The base for the sushi for the miniature clay workshop is nearly complete.
At the Japan Festival held in Amstelveen last June, the small miniature clay sushi (tuna, salmon and cucumber rolls) were very popular, so I have made a version with more variety.
✴︎The squares in this photo are 1cm square (for size reference).
There are still some final adjustments to be made. I need to think of the best way to guide beginners smoothly through the process and estimate the workshops time, and plan the workshop flow, and prepare items such as utensils and materials in advance.
Although there’s still work left to do, I’ll try to complete everything and provide the work shop soon.
