蛍絞りのワークショップ＠藤野
1回目行ってきました～
といっても、先月18日なのですが・・・
Firefly-shibori workshop in Fujino
I joined the first class last month.
(I'm very behind of uploading this post)
蛍絞りって
名前がいい
そして
藍色にぼんやりと白く染まった
模様も素敵
I like the name very much,
and
the pattern
which resembles fireflies flying at night
is lovely.
初めての技法なので
先生の話をしっかり聞いて
コットンのボールづくり。
コットンはもちろん綿花からできたもの。
This technique was new to me,
so I listened my instructor's explanation carefully.
The first step was to make cotton balls.
The cotton is natural from cotton plants.
思ったよりも
難しい・・・
でも、
ころころ、
ふわふわ
可愛らしい～
Making cotton balls were more difficult
than I had expected.
But
they were cute like tiny white pumpkins!
レッスン後は
すくもづくりの見学
そのあと、
クラスの仲間とランチしました
After class
the instructor showed us a process of
making composted indigo leaves called "sukumo."
After that
we went out for lunch!

次回は今月の8日です。
待ち遠しいな
天気が良ければ藤野で
紅葉楽しめるかも
The next class is next week.
I can't wait for it and
I hope I can enjoy autumn leaves in Fujino.
