Today, 3 families - 3 mothers and 7 children came for the miniature clay "Western sweets" lesson.
Three girls in Year 4, three younger brothers and sister, and the youngest participant is a lovely little girl. The little girl made key ring with her mother.
Parfaits, cookies, chocolates, ice cream and lollipops,
There were a lot of detailed works, some of them were difficult for the primary school children, but they all concentrated and worked very hard ( and also enjoyed) to make each items and two and a half hours went by very quickly.
Everyone did a great job, and each piece was unique.
I am glad that they enjoyed the workshop today.

We have opened stall at the Museumplain market (craft market)held once a month on Sunday in Amsterdam.
Until before the market, the weather forecast predicted rain during the market, but it didn't rain and many people visited the market.
About two hours after I got home, it started raining heavily and there was even thunder, so I was grateful for the good weather (^^).
Many of our customers were tourists, and some from Peru, Mexico, Israel, Dubai, USA…etc. purchased my items.
As Colouratura mainly sells Japanese-style handmade goods, so many of the people who bought were Japanese fans, and said “cute” and bought a pair of rice ball pierced earrings etc. I enjoyed such as the small talk with customers.
I don't plan on having an outdoor market for the time being during the cold winter, but when the weather warms up, I plan to have another stall somewhere. I think to have more new products by then, so I look forward to seeing you again at that time.
✳︎ Winter season with short daylight hours, take a miniature clay workshops indoors!

It was first time to sell my handmade goods at Sunday market in Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam.
It was cloudy but it was not hot, and comfortable weather to sell at the stall.
I enjoyed interacting with many people today and had a good experience.
A year ago, when I just moved to the Netherlands, I visited this market and wanted to sell my products here like this one day. It was very meaningful for me to be able to sell at this market today.
