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.
＊This time, I will hold the workshop in Japanese, but if there are voices from Japanese who want to interact with local people and local people who want to interact with Japanese, I am also considering holding a miniature clay workshop in English. If you have any requests or opinions, please feel free to message me.
In "Coloratura ~ Miniature Clay & Handmade workshop", in addition to miniature clay, I also hold workshops on making accessories using Japanese-style cloth, turtle key chains using 5 yen (Japanese coin).
I use 5 yen(Japanese coin) “go-en 5円” in this turtle. The Sound “go-en” also has other meaning “go-en ご縁”(same sound). The latter “go-en” means "fate".
Turtles live long, so it also has meaning that hope to live long and healthy.
While making 5 yen coin turtles, I was thinking I was happy to able to meet various people through miniature clay and handcraft workshops in the Netherlands. I’m glad meeting people and having a wonderful time.
Today is my first lesson in the Netherlands. Four people joined and made "Japanese sweets”
At first, it doesn't look like Japanese sweets yet … (2nd photo)
After color them, it became a small cute Japanese sweets. (3rd photo)
“Japanese sweets” has been completed! (6th photo)
Today’s lesson held in Japanese, but Dutch lady also participated. She speaks Japanese well and enjoyed the lesson and communicated with other Japanese participants.
She gave me postcards for present that she drew when she leave. Nice Japanese style pictures! (Last photo) Instagram: ano.studio
I am thinking that I want to treasure this encounter through miniature clay, and make the lessons highly satisfying.
Thank you to everyone who came today.
