Tokyo Craft Workshop Video

Hello Sandwiches,

I just made a little video from my Tokyo Craft Workshop! Hope you can enjoy it.

The super cute music is by Nagoya based Lullatone. They've just released a new album called 'Elevator Music'. It's so cute! You can download it here.

It's a long weekend here in Japan, and I'm off to Kyoto! Weeee. Have a lovely weekend.

It's also mama-sando's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA-SANDO!

D ♥ Y at Claska

It's a little sad that another fantastic D♥Y event is over. Remember the last event here?

What a wonderful weekend! Creative people, music workshops, ceramic workshops, calligraphy workshops, handmade pinball machines, delicious food + coffee + hot wine, lovely friends visiting and meeting some lovely Hello Sandwich readers!

Thank you so much Eguchi-san for inviting me! And thank you lovely Hiroko-san for all of your help and for translating for me!

Delicious doughnuts!


If you weren't able to come along here is a little video walk around D♥Y if you'd like to take a virtual walk through the event.



And here is a little (ちょっとはずかしい） recorded stream from the beginning of my workshop.




There are also a few ustream recordings of my workshop here, here, here and here. And there are are lots of other workshop ustrem recordings here.

I can't wait until the next D♥Y!

Hello Sandwich for Poppytalk

Hello Sandwiches,

Some exciting news. Those of you who follow Hello Sandwich Twitter may know that I'm going to be the Japan writer for Poppytalk this year! Exciting no? It's for an exciting new section on Poppytalk called 'Dispatches from...' where contributors post information about design, art, craft and other news from their countries. The lovely Pip will be reporting from Australia and Elisabeth will share stories from Sweden.

I also write a Tokyo column for Michi Girl.

I feel so lucky to be a part of the Poppytalk and Michi Girl little families! Pop on over to these lovely sites in your lunch break today!

Love Sandwich
