Something is different this year !? T-shirt is already done and delivered, and the weather is fabulous. Now we begin the workshops in Niijima, the island full of wonder and adventure!!
Three wonderful artists started the process of creating their refined works. And fine staff members gathered again in Niijima. Thus we begin the Festival.
I will work hard to make this workshop, an experience that everyone keep smiling during their time here.
I will do my best to assist in whatever way I can, so everyone can enjoy the festival.
Niijima is an amazingly beautiful place that inspires creativity. The Glass Center is a wonderful place to work and the level of professionalism and teamwork among the staff and students is without equal. It is a true honor to be back.
I'm so glad to be able to meet such fabulous people again this year. My only worry now is the boat going back to Tokyo!!
I feel charged up this year. I’ll do my best to respond to the expectations!!
Delicious food, great people, and fabulous hot spring as always. This is why I come back here every year from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
I am very honored that I have been summoned to the festival as a staff member again.
Second time as a staff member here. I’ll work hard!! I’ll work hard… and have fun! And…..
I had been helped out so much last year, and I hope to be able to return the kindness by being useful to everyone in this year’s festival.
My first time in Niijima. Started with a burn on my arm, and ending with…!? Gotta hang tough!!
