What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is the century-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with Japanese lacquer (Urushi) dusted with powdered gold giving a new life to when otherwise items would be thrown away. In recent years this craftsmanship has been regarded as an important traditional art to influence on Modern art around the world.
Philosophy
Kintsugi express Wabi-Sabi philosophy, an embracing of imperfection, whilst appreciating artefact’s history and personal memories. Instead of disguising the damages and bringing them to the original state, Kintsugi emphasises the defects with gold, symbolises life.
History
Kintsugi art dates back to the 14th century when Tea ceremony began to spread in Japan to repair the precious tea sets. The technique has developed and changed since. It is said that archaeologist claimed there is evidence of earthenware during the Jomon period (14,000 – 300 BCE) in Japan were repaired using the lacquer.

My design is influenced by multiple countries I have been in the past searching materials and creative process both in traditional way and with technology.
I started to practice Kintsugi a few years ago in Japan to incorporate its unique nature of the Japanese traditional craft into my design.
I run Kintsugi workshops to share the joy of learning this Japanese craft full of surprises and contradictions.

My passion is to introduce Japanese art, craft and culture through the workshops."

Will Manovel • Sep 2020
Yoko is a patient friendly & helpful teacher; quiet and peaceful workspace, sipping green tea and chatting about Japanese art & music; then taking the finished piece home is very rewarding. I really enjoyed the whole experience, and it was a wonderful gift from a friend. Thank you.

Highly recommended!
Iris Chan • May 2020
Kintsugi is an amazing art. Yoko is a fantastic and creative teacher. She is so patient, organised and informative. Her workshop is well set up and equipped. She demonstrated each process very well.
Pamela Yeo • Nov 2019
Yoko is such a lovely and friendly instructor. She is also very patient and accomodating when it came to organizing the ideal time for the private class. During the class, she gave a detailed introduction of Kintsugi and even provided us with several treats from Japan. She was guiding us every step of the way and best of all, she didn't rush us throughout the process. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks Yoko!

Fantastic class. Yoko was an excellent teacher who patiently and expertly took me through the steps of kintsugi. The materials were well prepared and easy to use. Venue was handy. Delicious refreshments offered throughout the class. Yoko gave historical background to the process as well as many ideas about how I could use my new skill on different ceramics. Would highly recommend this class.
Y A • Dec 2019
We had a wonderful time learning kintsugi from Yoko san. She is a very good teacher, responding to any sort of question or technical matter quickly.
The class was done privately so that we were able to relax more at her studio. Her class is well organised, very enjoyable.
We respect her artistic personality, that’s the reason why we chose to learn from her. Not only did she teach us the physical techniques, but also the history and culture behind kintsugi. She also introduced us to different types and techniques which leads to more creative ideas.
We are grateful that Yoko san generously shared her precious knowledge and kintsugi skills with us.

I was lucky to spend my birthday working alongside Yoko, and learning this incredible art on a one on one basis. It taught me quiet patience, perseverance, and was a wonderful exercise in mindfulness.
Jane McCarthy • Nov 2019
The Kintsugi class with Yoko was fabulous. The venue was great - plenty of space, all required materials and equipment was provided and the class was incredibly well organised and beautifully presented. Yoko is clearly very skilled and was very generous in sharing her skills and knowledge. It was a very enjoyable morning and I took home a beautiful creation. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who enjoys beautiful things.

I love the creative space Yoko works from. She is a very good teacher and I was very happy with the amount I learnt and the finished product.
I will be buying her gorgeous hand made brushes so I can continue this art from home.
The money spent was worth what I got to learn today
