The 27th festival is turning out like a reunion or a home coming with the staff members and the participants. I can feel the history of 27 years. I hope Niijima workshop will continue to be a place to refresh your soul and brush up your techniques once a year.
Wonderful instructors and staff memberes arrived in Niijima. Now the workshop begins! The energy is building up.
All the staff members are totally reliable people. It is a great learning opportunity for me. Hope to have a great tim e together.
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 4th time to Niijima. Such a wonderful place and friendly people. It is my pleasure to be here again on the beautiful island. It is truly a unique place to blow glass.
I am very happy to be able to work with wonderful people in a great environment and facilities, once again this year.
The ocean is rough! Premonition of dramatic developments! Can’t afford to miss it this year!
This year we have two instructors. One teaching with Moretti (soft glass) and another teaching blowing (boroscillicate), and there are lot of things to learn.
I’m here again! It is quarter of century since I started coming to Niijima! Got a feeling that it will be another special year!!!
There’s always a new discovery every time I come to Niijima. I’m looking forward to what will turn out this year!
I’m sure it will be an awesome workshop again this year. No doubt about it!
I am so happy to be here again this year. I will do my best to make everything work well.
It is my third time as a staff member here. I’m excited that I can see something new, that is different from first and second time.
It’s my secong year in Niijima. First of all, I focus on my responsibility as a TA, and then seek out my own precious experience for my self in the festival.
