Recent reviews of Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

• 5/5 from Rachel Wylde-Browne, attended Aug 2026: Very informative and practically taught tutorial. Highly organised to ensure all required tools and equipment arrived in time to support the workshop. Very well taught.
• 5/5 from Sarah White, attended Jun 2026: Yoko is such a clear instructor who shared great information about the history and practice of kintsugi as we went through the class.
• 5/5 from Margaret Pham, attended Jun 2026: Teacher was very knowledgeable in everything kintsugi. The class was well paced and instructions were clear and concise. We worked on a small broken plate that came in the kit and Yoko also made time to discuss my own side project, a broken incense holder (see photos). The kit provided had everything I needed and it even had enough material to complete both projects with material to spare. Highly recommended class.
• 5/5 from Gaby Bennett, attended Jun 2026: It was a nice way to spend a Saturday. Yoko is very knowledgeable about her craft. The tool kit had everything needed and was packaged beautifully.
• 5/5 from Paula Watson, attended Apr 2026: The teacher was great and explained and demonstrated the process very well! Everything was provided and presented in a beautiful way!
• 5/5 from Susan Clark, attended Apr 2026: Loved the Kintsugi class. Enjoyed hearing about the origins of the practice, learnt a lot. Yoko was great. Mindful to have breaks when we could. Loooved the kit that came. I had a misunderstanding about the redeeming of my gift card. It was not intuitive to redeem a gift card. I nearly bought 2 more sessions. That process could be clearer if you let ppl have a straightforward button, rather than trying to keep onselling to them.
• 5/5 from Debbie Irving, attended Mar 2026: Yoko was so clear in her instructions and very encouraging. She also knows so much about Kintsugi and its evolution which she freely shares. The kit arrived well before the date of online class and the instructions about what I needed to provide were very clear. Now I have a beautiful piece. Thank you Yoko
• 5/5 from Lynne Cafferky, attended Mar 2026: Yoko was a fabulous teacher. The zoom format worked well, she was very well organised and experienced and added an appropriate degree of historical context. I highly recommend if you are interested in learning the technique. Lynne
• 5/5 from Kelly Makin, attended Oct 2025: The workshop was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about and experience the beautiful art of Kinstugi. The workshop was the perfect legnth of time to work through the practice and we learned so much along the way from Yoko. Yoko's depth of knowledge of this ancient art made us appreciate and understand it far more than we had prior to the workshop. Yoko was friendly, patient and explained and demonstrated every step precisely which made it surpprisingly easy to follow on Zoom and gave us the confidence to complete each step properly. Highly recommend this workshop and Yoko :)
• 5/5 from Natasha d'Souza, attended Oct 2025: Yoko is an incredible teacher, sent me a kit with top quality materials that covered everything I needed during the class. Her detailed explanations, and historical background of the art form in Japan ware very interesting to learn about. The class was a mindful experience and helped me unwind after a stressful week, plus taught me a new skill to mend broken pottery. I highly recommend this class.
• 5/5 from Tara, attended Sep 2025: Yoko is lovely and this class was a wonderful combination of practical and philosophy of Kintsugi all in comfort of my own space. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
• 5/5 from Nat Levy, attended Sep 2025: Yoko was incredibly knowledgeable and skillful and patient! We learnt the original and modern way of kintsugi and some interesting history of how this practice started about 500-600 years ago. What I loved most about this class is that everything is provided and posted to you ready for the zoom and it is a very methodical and practical activity(and Yoko is just so lovely!) but at the end you can add in some artistic flare where you’d like the gold to finally sit. I would highly recommend this class! I can’t wait to see the final result after 5 days of drying time! Nat
• 5/5 from Nicki White, attended Aug 2025: I loved my Mindful Art Kintsugi class with Yoko. She is an exceptional teacher and delves into the history of the art while teaching techniques. It was such a joy and the four hours flew by. This was a gift, was easy to redeem and fits in perfectly with my pottery
• 5/5 from Rebecca Bower, attended Feb 2025: I was so thrilled with this beautiful Kintsugi class led by Yoko. It was so well prepared, from the welcome kit, to the clear and welcoming communication leading up to the course. The course was gifted to me by my partner, so I had no idea what to expect. Over the 4hours, Yoko taught me about the history of Kintsugi, its cultural significance and the way it is evolving. All the while she let me through step by step to the completion of my first piece. I feel buoyed up by the whole course and ready to explore my own Kintsugi projects.
• 5/5 from Jen Dainer, attended Jan 2025: Yoko is a fantastic teacher. The class is well paced and I felt I had plenty of time to complete each activity. The end result is a beautiful finished piece, and enough supplies to complete many more projects on my own at home. Wonderful course, highly recommended. No issues doing the course online. Except for my cat meowing loudly in the background :)
• 5/5 from Camille, attended Jan 2025: Incredible class. Yoko is so kind and knowledgeable. Would recommend x 1000000. Thank you, Yoko.
• 5/5 from Sara Barrljung, attended Jan 2025: Loved this online class with Yoko that I did today! She explained and showed all the different steps, and the background to Kintsugi so well - giving me the confidence to continue on my own. The box with all the tools and material that had been sent to me, was really thought through, I even have enough material for several pieces. I have spent the rest of the afternoon doing Kintsugi and really enjoying the process. Many thanks, Sara
• 5/5 from Nicola Jones, attended Nov 2024: I could not recommend this at home course enough. The pace Yoko teaches at is perfect. We were kept busy but also learning the philosophy of this beautiful art. I received the kit box a week before and it was full of treasures and had everything required. I was unable to attend any of Yoko’s in person classes but this was an excellent alternative. I just now have to wait 5 days before I can clean off my beautiful gold pigment and see the final result. All good things come to those who wait.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Yoko has excellent teaching skills that she used effectively for this online class. Although I expect that face to face classes would be even better, tis is a good option for people who can’t make it to the studio!
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Loved the whole class and it was very mindful. It was all so easy to attend this class every thing was done so professionally, and organised.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: My first online class. Very hands on, very information and the time just passed by so quickly. Thank you Yoko for a most enjoyable session on Kintsugi
• 5/5 from Errin Hewlett, attended Sep 2024: Excellent class - Yoko has such a lovely presence and knowledge of the art. It was easy to keep up and is taught in a manner that enables you to take on your own project outside of this class. Very calming and interesting.
• 5/5 from Claire Louise Wright, attended Aug 2024: 'Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home' is a gorgeous class. Yoko is not only an expert in her craft, but also a fine teacher, making the highly technical process interactive, well-paced and easy to follow - even on Zoom! She is also, of course, steeped in the philosophy, history and culture of Japan, which added layer upon layer of interest. The 'bento' class box, received in advance, was beautifully presented, and contained not only everything required to produce a piece of art kintsugi - but also matcha tea and a Japanese sweet, for tea break! Having long admired Kintsugi as an art form and philosophy, it was so enriching to have the experience of actually doing it - and to produce something I am sincerely delighted with. Warm thanks to Yoko-san, and to ClassBento, for creating such amazing opportunities!
• 5/5 from David Kay, attended Jun 2024: This class was excellent - Yoko explained each step really well, and gave us lots of information about the art of kintsugi. It felt very relaxing, unhurried, and a nice way to spend a morning. Plus I now have the tools and knowledge to do more.
• 5/5 from Melissa Toy, attended May 2024: Thank you Yoko for such an enjoyable lesson in Kintsugi. You gave clear and concise instruction, and shared the history of the craft. It was such a pleasurable learning experience. I highly recommend Yoko and her expertise.
• 5/5 from Sayo Reynolds, attended May 2024: This was our second time doing Kintsugi lesson by Yoko san. She is amazing teacher and so patient and lovely. It was so much fun that I lost the track of time. Thank you so much Yoko san x

• 5/5 from Anastasia Joseski, attended Jan 2024: Super class with Yoko who is a clear, patient and generous instructor. As you go through the steps, you get a sense of world slowing down even though time will fly by! The kit is terrific with everything you will need for class project plus lots of post class projects to keep you learning and refining the techniques Yoko shows you. Absolutely loved it.

• 5/5 from Liz Ditton, attended Dec 2023: Very well organised and enjoyable class. The teacher (Yoko) was very knowledgeable and provided excellent instruction. Additional materials were provided so we could follow on with other projects after the class, and Yoko provided guidance on how to approach another project I planned to attempt in the future. It was a lovely class to do with friends/family.
• 5/5 from Erin Hamby, attended Nov 2023: This workshop was amazing. Super detailed instruction. Walked through step by step with explanations throughout. Fully understand the process now and feeling brave enough to have a go by myself. Looking forward to washing off the excess and seeing the end result in a few days
• 5/5 from Natalie de Bont, attended Nov 2023: Today's class with Yoko exceeded our expectations. The kits arrived well before time and had everything in them that was needed. They were clearly marked so that following along was easy even for complete beginners. Yoko's instructions were precise and she made sure that everyone in the class was clear about what they were doing. She also made sure that everyone was keeping up and had ample time to complete their projects. A very enjoyable way to learn a new craft!

• 5/5 from Kerry Sargent, attended Jun 2023: What a joy this class was. Yoko is an excellent teacher - providing fascinating background into the art of Kintsugi as well as patient and expert tuition. She also generously gave advice on future projects. Would highly recommend this class and Yoko
• 5/5 from Ingrid Sivertsen, attended Apr 2023: The kintsugi art workshop was a pleasure and a delight. I’m so happy with what I learned about kintsugi, the piece that I made, and the skills I’ve learned for future projects. Highly recommended!
• 5/5 from Natalie Smith, attended Apr 2023: Totally amazed by this very old art form done with todays techniques. Very slow and meditative and learnt about the history just chose it to do something different and was very surprised. Enjoyed the experience.
• 5/5 from Lyvia Alam, attended Mar 2023: Yoko was amazing and very patient! The kit that was delivered a week before the class start, was very thoughtfully and beautifully packaged together. It has everything you need for the class and has enough materials to keep you practising in the future. Yoko was extremely knowledgable, friendly and gave very clear instructions. She also led the class to expand your personal creativity if you wanted to. I'm confident I can do this on my own in the future if I wanted to pursue this further. I can't wait for my lacquer to cure so I can dust off the excess gold dust to see the results in 5 days.
• 5/5 from Simone Rosenbauer, attended Feb 2023: Loved it: you were able to learn the essentials skills and Yoko is a super nice and lovely teacher.

• 5/5 from Sara Coombes, attended Jan 2023: Fabulous day. Yoko shared so much of the history of the art as well as just doing the process. She was very clever at explaining all the techniques and very clear with her instructions. Lovely to have the whole class live so we could watch exactly how she did things and she could see our efforts and make suggestions. Definately worth the money and a great way of relaxing!
• 5/5 from Naquita Smith, attended Nov 2022: Could not have LOVED this workshop more. Yoko is a wonderful, helpful and interesting teacher who inspired me throughout this class thanks to her wonderful banter and her obvious passion for the art of Kintsugi. I loved this class SO much and will certainly continue on with the beautiful art of Kintsugi. Special mention to the thoughtful and beautifully presented ClassBento box that Yoko sent. I've never received such a lovely package.
• 5/5 from Katrina Pobke, attended Nov 2022: Excellent. Such good clear and well organised instructions. Thank you. Lovely friendly class.

• 5/5 from Areyan Estell, attended Oct 2022: This was exactly what I hoped it would be. Yoko pre sent a pack with everything I needed (even a beverage). The lesson flowed in a logical way that made sense and the banter in-between was historical, informative and interesting. I have wanted to do this for a long time but to do it from the luxury of my own home was a bonus! Yoko’s knowledge skill and passion was welcomed. Love this art form And I think Yoko delivers a lesson that inspires enough to have a go at doing more - she certainly provided enough product for you to do so.

Yoko is a great teacher, explaining the history of Kintsugi and guiding us step-by-step, via demonstrations and clear instructions, through the process of producing our very own art work. All equipment was provided, clearly labelled, plus instructions and a list of materials to enable us to practice Kintsugi in the future. Thanks to Yoko I will most certainly delve deeper into this art form. Highly recommended - 5 stars out of 5 :-)
