Annual Mizuhiki Workshop Day – Perth

The day after the Perth Japan Festival, Az from Happy JP Designs and I came together again to host our annual Mizuhiki workshop at the State Library.

This year, Az shared her beautiful six-petaled flower designs for brooches and pendants, and I taught plum knot earrings and a matching pendant.

It was such a joy to see everyone creating their own unique pieces and leaving with smiles on their faces and something special to take home.

Perth Japan Festival 2026

Venue
Langley Park

This was my 10th time participating in the Perth Japan festival!
It started at Forrest Place, Elizabeth Quay, Supreme Court Garden and this time to Langley Park and it’s been getting bigger and bigger.
This year, 268,828 people visited.

Az @happyjpdesigns and I set our stalls next to each other again, displayed our Mizuhiki creations. It’s always such a joy to share this craft with so many people, from new customers to familiar faces who come every year. It truly gives me energy. Hope you enjoyed your time too.
Thank you so much again, See you next year !!
