My friend, Tomoko, makes beautiful flames, cards, and home decorations using her own pressed flowers🌺. They are dried by hand but keep their lovely colours. She also does calligraphy. I love her handwriting and want her to create TORI’S NEST logo together with me, so we did😊.

She is helping us to set the table to make the Christmas dinner a bit more special🎄. A few tickets are still available via Humanitix. Please check out our event page.

We were asked by the person organising the community group in Cygnet to do Miso and Tofu workshops, so Aki and I delivered a miso workshop on 21st November in Cygnet.
Cygnet is only an hour from my home, but I have visited there only a few times in the last 20 years. I love the pretty little town full of arts and crafts✨🖼️ and surrounded by farms and nature💕. Everyone who came to the workshop was very enthusiastic to know about miso and its ingredients and asked lots of questions. Aki and I both had a great time and were very glad to receive wonderful feedback from the participants😆😆.

We organise workshops at Source only a few times a year, as it requires lots of work. We feel sorry for the people on the wait list who couldn’t get into the workshop. If you have a group of people interested in attending the workshop, please feel free to contact us. We can discuss the details to make it suitable for your needs🙏.
