- 5/5 from Stephanie McCarthy, attended Mar 2025: I loved this class, the teachers were both excellent, engaging and knowledgeable. I learn some background to Kintsugi as well as fixing my piece of pottery. The materials were clearly well thought out and easy to use. thank you so much.
- 5/5 from Michelle Del Beato, attended Nov 2024: Jun san and Hitomi san were very welcoming. Jun is very knowledgeable and patient. All materials were supplied and were of good quality. We also had a little morning tea break with Japanese snacks. The beginner class taught me the modern way of Kintsugi. I will be booking another class in 2025 on traditional KIntsugi. I highly recommend the class to anyone interested in learning more about Kintsugi.
- 5/5 from Kerry Lowe, attended Nov 2024: Had a fabulous time learning the history and the skill of Kintsugi with Jun, celebrating my friends birthday who is now embarking on using this skill to mend a beloved broken butter dish that belonged to her Grandma. Everything was well organised with all materials and excellent teaching being provided to ensure a successful outcome and an even better experience. Thanks Jun!
- 5/5 from Craig Hamilton, attended Nov 2024: Jun is a very empathetic and knowledgeable teacher with a true passion for passing on the experience of Kintsugi.
- 5/5 from Odette Miles, attended Aug 2024: My Saturday Kintsugi workshop was a truly remarkable experience. Jun-san and Hitomi-san provided not only a hands-on tutorial but also a rich cultural background on the origins of Kintsugi and Japanese traditions. Their passion and expertise shone through every aspect of the workshop. The process of repairing a broken plate was meticulously explained, with clear, step-by-step guidance. Jun-san and Hitomi-san went above and beyond by offering valuable tips and personalized feedback, ensuring everyone felt confident and achieved beautiful results. Their attention to detail was impressive, as they patiently reviewed our work before moving on to the next stage. What also stood out was their generosity in sharing where to source the materials used and the reasoning behind each choice. This wasn’t just a class; it was an immersive learning experience that left me feeling inspired and enriched. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning the art of Kintsugi.
- 5/5 from Stuart Taylor, attended Aug 2024: Jun was amazing. So knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. I loved the class and the history of kintsugi. I love how my plate turned out and will definitely look to do another one in the future!
