Annoucement for the Eighth Annual Group Show, Hana Tonbo Ten

It has just been announced that "Hana Tonbo Ten" will be held
in Osaka, Japan, with the following schedule. The annual group show, "Hana Tonbo Ten" is supported by
Satake Glass Co., Ltd, the leading glass company in Japan. Many of the show participants
learned glass crafts at Satake Glass's workshop, called Ryu Koubou.
Ryu Koubou Workshop also has been acting as the lampwork center in Japan
producing a lot of Japanese lampwork artists.

Dolce Street Arts & Crafts will join the group show this year
following our attendance last year and will enjoy making lampwork glass beads for the show
at the workshop held by Kenjiro Senba at Huu Koubou.

Our theme of 2004 was "The morning to go to Ohanami. "
It was a fun display table - Some of Japanese old beauty,
such as vintage kimono fabric and antique kitchen tools played second fiddle
to our lampwork glass beads on a tatami sheet "stage".
Here are some of the views of our display table from the show last year.

What about this year's theme? You will see it at Hana Tonbo Ten!


*Ohanami= Hanami, cherry blossom viewing, one of the common Japanese spring events.
