Recent reviews of Kintsugi Accessory Workshop

• 5/5 from Joanna B, attended Dec 2025: Beautiful form of Japanese Art! I highly recommend Jewellery Kintsugi! I recently took a class there and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The instructor was not only kind and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the art of Kintsugi. She guided me step-by-step, ensuring I understood each part of the intricate process while still allowing me the freedom to create my piece myself. The attention to detail and patience was fantastic. Plus, they had a wide variety of ceramics and glass options to choose from. It was a truly rewarding and artistic experience!
• 5/5 from Yin Ingamells, attended Mar 2025: I had so much fun at this workshop! We were guided step by step by our teacher, Hitomi-san, to make some unique accessory pieces. Very relaxed small group atmosphere and extremely well organised session. This is a great gift idea! I got this a birthday present over 18 months ago; yet I was able to register easily for this workshop now. Also a great bonding activity for a team!

• 5/5 from Samantha, attended Oct 2023: Really fun class. I had fun mixing and matching sea glass with ceremics creating such contrasting pieces that are not only unique but beautiful.
• 5/5 from Glenda Macnaughton, attended Sep 2023: Very knowledgeable and supportive teacher. She made sure that each student could be successful at each stage of the process. Great outcome for all and I was very pleased with pieces. Easy to get to location.
• 5/5 from Vivian Tan, attended Jun 2023: Hitomi-san was a great teacher who explained everything thoroughly. It was so fun learning about kintsugi and being able to walk away from class with your own accessories! The most difficult part was probably choosing which ceramic and sea glass you want to use for your accessories, they have lots of choice. Overall, had a really fun time and would recommend.
• 5/5 from Jessica Trevena, attended Jun 2023: Hitomi and Jun were absolutely wonderful. One of the classes was completely booked out and so they squeezed me in alongside the general kintsugi workshop, which was super lovely of them (and they didn’t need to do!). They were both incredibly prepared to teach us, providing us with some background of kintsugi, as well as more context as to where the materials came from etc. and provided everything for us. Hitomi gave me her full attention and was very deliberate with her instructions that it was so easy - the time flew by so fast! Would certainly recommend the course. I love what I made and know that I can wear it and show it off to friends and family
• 5/5 from Maria Browne, attended Jun 2023: Such a lovely introduction to kintsugi from an experienced instructor. The sea glass and vintage ceramics were really cool, and she had heaps of tips, techniques and little bits of history to add. Thanks so much!
• 5/5 from Kylie Crampton, attended Apr 2023: I really enjoyed Hitomi’s class. Venue was easy to find and we were greeted warmly. Hitomi generously shared her knowledge and guided us each step of the way to create our very own Kintsugi pieces. Loved this class! Thank you Hitomi
• 5/5 from Kristy Taylor, attended Apr 2023: My friend and I had a really lovely time doing the kintsugi jewellery course. The teacher was super lovely and did really well keeping us on track. Learning a little bit of the history was really interesting. Thank you so much for a lovely fun experience.
• 5/5 from Karina Lee, attended Mar 2023: Hitomi and Jun are so kind and lovely! Hitomi was a wonderfully patient teacher too and really upheld the whole theme of "imperfections are beautiful" - which was great for those of us stressing over our work! She also took the time to really explain the history of kintsugi as we were working on our pieces. Absolutely loved this class, so much fun and an amazing experience (They also have SO many colours and designs of broken pieces so it's a great place to let your creativity run wild!)
• 5/5 from Debra Menser, attended Feb 2023: Hitomi was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. Glad I brought an apron! Everything was provided, and we got to take things home that we made. I'm definitely going to return for classes!
• 5/5 from Jenny Chan, attended Dec 2022: The kintsugi jewelley class uses an array of simple tools, glue and gold mica. The creative process of joining pieces together is delicate. Our friendly teacher, Hitomi was patient and provided us with some interesting conversation. We learnt some about Japanese culture and some new Japanese words like dojo. I recommend this crafty session.

• 5/5 from Sue Collard, attended Nov 2022: Great class with lovely humour from Hitomi-san. I can't believe we were able to produce such polished pieces in just two hours.

• 5/5 from Jennifer Jenkins, attended Sep 2022: I decided to join a Kintsugi Accessory group as I’d really enjoyed my introductory Kintsugi class last month with Jun. His wife Hitomi was my teacher this time & once again I was impressed with how well prepared she was & how clearly she explained each part of the techniques she was teaching us. She sent us all home with 3 finished items packaged in little cellophane bags on printed cards. We felt very professional! I’m looking forward to doing another class with Jun & Hitomi again soon.
