2010年7月のＡＪカフェ・ホビングリッシュは、オーストラリア出身のMima先生と一緒に『ジュエリークラフト講座〜Making Jewelry Craft〜』を楽しみました。クリエイティブな事が大好きなMima先生。なんと以前オーストラリアで、自分でデザインしたＴ-シャツを販売していたこともある、アーティスティックな才能の持ち主です。

Hobbinglish 「ジュエリークラフト講座」
は、
Mima先生レポートにてご紹介します！
For July’s AJ Café we decided to do a class on Jewelry making. The 28th was a beautiful sunny day and we had a small friendly group to learn with.
We began by introducing ourselves – where we were from, what our hobbies were, and for those with children a little about them too.
 After this we discussed some jewelry making techniques and everyone was able to watch a demonstration of these and also look at a text book diagram.
Then the fun began! Provided were an array of beads. Large, small, different  shapes, varying textures - some metal, some stone, some plastic, some wood! The colors ranged from gunmetal grey to
mushroom mauve to dazzling black. We also used some “feature” beads – these are single, unusual beads used to stand out on a piece of jewelry – our options were brass lovehearts, candy pink miniature roses and frosted feather pendants.
