• 5/5 from Linda de Vincentiis, attended Oct 2026: An Absolutely Wonderful Experience! I can honestly say this was one of the best workshops I have ever attended! I have been fascinated by the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi for some time, but yesterday’s two-hour workshop exceeded all my expectations. Our teacher, Hisae-san, was absolutely wonderful - kind, gentle, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained each step so clearly and thoughtfully, creating a relaxed and welcoming environment where learning felt effortless and enjoyable. There was something incredibly satisfying about taking a broken ceramic plate and transforming it into something beautiful again. Not only did I learn a fascinating new technique, but I also discovered a creative passion that I genuinely want to continue exploring. I left the workshop feeling inspired, accomplished and excited to learn more. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already booked a four-hour workshop for my birthday! A heartfelt thank you to Hisae-san for sharing her knowledge and passion so generously. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, whether you’re simply curious about Kintsugi or looking for a meaningful new creative outlet. Five stars simply aren’t enough! ✨
• 5/5 from Ethne Marshall, attended Oct 2026: What a fabulous class. Karen and I thoroughly enjoyed this creative and cultural experience. Our teacher, Hisae San, was so supportive and encouraging.

• 5/5 from James Wright, attended Oct 2026: What a great class! I got the voucher for Christmas and finally got around to booking in with my boyfriend.

Our hosts were delightful.

I got this class as a Christmas gift for my wife. Getting the gift card and using it to book the class was very straightforward. We both enjoyed the workshop immensely.
• 5/5 from Maria Torrisi, attended Oct 2026: I loved that the class was very small, and that everythjng we needed was individually set out for us on arrival. Our teacher Miyoko-san was very careful in how she instructed us, was encouraging and informative. It was also very interesting to learn about the history of the art form. Halfway through we had a tea break - a Japanese tea and snacks. Even though I was there on my own, we all chatted, had a few laughs and when finished admired each other's finished plate. Miyoko-san asked us if we we minded if the class went go over time, but we were all quite happy to stay. I can recommend this class for anyone who is interested as it was fun, easy and you go home with a beautiful item, the knowledge and all the information you need to try it at home, do another class like Kintsugi jewellery making or come back to the Dojo with your own broken china to put back together

• 5/5 from Kyoko Kusumoto, attended Sep 2026: This is a great introduction to Kintsugi along with some very appropriate reflections on the Japanese way of thinking and reflection about life itself. The instructor is well-organised, clear in guiding the participants and very encouraging of each participant's efforts. Whilst Kintsugi might seem daunting at first, you are taken through each step clearly and come to realise it is accessible to everyone. A highly recommended activity that was time well spent.

It was very easy to follow along and by the end of 2 hours, we managed to bring our very own kintsugi plate home! 5/5!
• 5/5 from Anya Phillips, attended Aug 2026: Our teacher Jun was an absolute delight and taught us about the history of Kintsugi before guiding us through the process.

• 5/5 from Sarah Dingle, attended Aug 2026: So great. Thanks Miyoko!!
• 5/5 from Charlotte & Rory, attended Aug 2026: My partner and I did a kintsugi workshop for our 5-year anniversary and we really enjoyed it. Jun and Hitomi were very accomodating and organised, even sending us a message prior to the workshop that the lift was out of order and to use the stairs. During the workshop, they clearly showed the techniques of Kintsugi so that the group could follow, they monitored us and encouraged us. We're very happy with the result! Even though it was a bit challenging at times, we never felt rushed to complete a step in the process. You can see they are both passionate about the art of Kintsugi and are very knowledgeable about it. We appreciated learning a bit about the background of the art form and about their journey to build their business! Thanks again!
