Nothing like the pretty colours and delicious taste of dango 団子 to invoke the warm, lovely feelings of Spring in Japan. Learn to make this cute miniature dango and turn it into a brooch to pin on your apparel or bag. In these advanced miniature crochet workshops, we'll be working with lace crochet hooks and embroidery threads instead of yarns. The crafting is challenging as it is on a miniature scale (we do provide magnifying glass during the workshop) but the end product is always exquisite.
