The Japan Festival in Amstelveen is one of the largest Japanese events in the Netherlands, with over 10,000 visitors.
At the event Coloratura will hold Japanese-style handicraft workshops again this year.
The miniature clay (Japanese food, Japanese sweets) workshop that is popular every year...
This time I will be offering small sushi and Japanese sweets.
I will also have workshops that you can make Japanese-style fabric charms to attach to your bag or cell phone, as well as chopstick holder and coaster using origami paper.
Please come and join us.
Location: Amstelveen Stadsplein
Date and time: Sunday, June 30th, 12:00-18:00
*From children old enough to sit and work alone to adults (since miniature clay 'sushi' is somewhat difficult.)
There are also many Japanese food stalls and stage performances.
Please come with your family and friends and enjoy!
✳︎ Every year, the workshops were fully booked and many people were unable to join. If you are interested, please come early.
✳︎ To allow as many people as possible to participate, we will limit participation to one session per person (if there are spaces available at the start of each workshop, you may be able to join on the spot).
Coloratura offers one-day miniature clay workshops and other handcraft workshops such as Tsumamizaiki (making flower accessories or decorations using Japanese fabrics).. in Amsterdam.
Coloratura also sell handmade miniature clay goods and Japanese style goods such as accessories or ornaments made of Japanese fabrics or Origami papers ..etc. at Sunday markets, Japanese events…
Two years have passed since I came to the Netherlands. It's also been almost two years since I started miniature clay workshops from autumn 2021.

Since I came to the Netherlands last summer, it was my first King's Day and also first time to sell in the Netherlands.
Many people were interested in my goods and bought a lot. Even if someone didn’t buy it, they stopped and look at it, and said , it's beautiful！ or it's amazing! I'm glad that many people said that.
I also enjoyed the atmosphere of King's Day in the Netherlands (although I didn't go to the city center) and it was an interesting and good experience.
Thank you for everyone who purchased my goods and spoke to us(^^)
I set a goal at the beginning of the year to sell it in the market and online in addition to the miniature clay and handcraft classes, but I have not much spare time💦 and will be April soon.
I'm working on something for sale little by little. I still have lots of things to do, to make more production for sales and have to prepare to sell at market or online… The progress is slow, but it is progressing little by little.
The new school, work year starts in April in Japan. Even if I’ve lived abroad for a long time, I still have the feeling that April will be a new start.
Dark and cold winter has gone and bright spring full of flowers came !
It's a good season to start something. I will do my best and move forward.
