• 5/5 from Catherine Smyth-McMullen, attended Sep 2026: Liana was so lovely, and this was such a great experience to do with my partner as a birthday gift. Love the mix of fun and mindfulness - making an object into something repaired but beautiful, is such a lovely way to approach both art, and life in general! And was so happy with how my pieces turned out too! Highly recommended.

• 5/5 from Connie Fisk, attended Jul 2026: The class was fantastic! The teacher was friendly patient and made the instructions easy to understand. My Mother, Sister and I all were able to leave with 2 finished pieces. The teacher explained how to fix little errors we made and because we were able to take the supplies home we could fix anything we needed to at home. Wonderful experience!! Great for a group of family or friends to do or just by yourself. Very friendly atmosphere. Bathroom and coffee and tea supplies were available. A+ to everything!!

• 5/5 from Sonja Loke, attended Apr 2026: We organized a private party for a friend’s 50th. Such a beautiful meaningful activity to do together. Liana was so accommodating and none of us with Kintsugi experience found it easy to follow. Liana was so nice a great

• 5/5 from Sandy Edwards, attended Dec 2025: Really friendly, well run professional class by experienced and fun artist. This class flew by, Liana imparted much wisdom re technique, troubleshooting and offered ongoing support if further roadblocks. What a great workspace too in their funky upstairs warehouse studio - a lovely morning! I will keep my eye on other classes offered with workshop
• 5/5 from Sue Jones, attended Nov 2025: I really enjoyed my afternoon learning to mend broken Crockery. The teacher spoke of patience and order as being a skill honed in this class. I look forward to tackling some broken treasures on my own with confidence.
• 5/5 from Carole Shaw, attended Nov 2025: A fun way to slow the pace and create. Small group means everyone has the attention they need. A fun creative session.
• 5/5 from Sophia Moore, attended Nov 2025: Very fun class, teacher was excellent and gave the perfect guidance throughout - best of all you get tools to take home and do it all again
• 5/5 from Sonya Bailey, attended Nov 2025: The teacher was very entertaining and the class was great. Spent most of the time doing, which suited me! We used a gift voucher for most of the cost and it was a great incentive to get us doing something different
• 5/5 from Brittany Symons, attended Sep 2025: Thoroughly enjoyed this class, it was interesting to learn the Japanese art of Kintsugi.
• 5/5 from Angela Rojas, attended Jul 2025: I absolutely loved the class! Not only do you get a kit to take home, you also learn step by step process on how to bring to life your sentimental pieces… I loved loved loved it and Lynh was an amazing teacher! Highly recommend ️
• 4/5 from Anastasia Sfakiotaki, attended Jun 2025: Materials were available Instruction were clear Ample time to practice The room is very cold
• 3/5 from Merrilee McCoy, attended Jun 2025: The topic and outcomes of the workshop are good, but the format/ structure is a bit more freeform than I'd expected. We were given a brief demo of the steps (about 10min), then the rest of the time was self directed. I'd expected a little more framing about the history and practices, so we could really experience the kintsugi approach. After a while, it felt like I was just glueing a plate together solo, which I could do from home using a YouTube tutorial. Structuring the workshop to be more of a shared experience would've increased my enjoyment for the price paid.
• 5/5 from Andrea Rutherford, attended May 2025: A great introduction class to this beautiful craft. Celebrating a birthday for my partner, this was the perfect activity to do together followed by a lunch. A great day doing something we had wanted to try for a while. Lovely teacher with careful instruction. A great space to meet other people too while you work. Got to bring some supplies home too so we can continue crafting at home.
• 5/5 from Mel Coates, attended May 2025: Great Mother's Day activity Friendly teacher and environment, constructive feedback. Came home with 2 pieces I'm very proud of, and the material to make a few more Kintsugi pieces.
• 5/5 from Sally McAlpin, attended May 2025: I enjoyed this class, the teacher was clear and helpful and we had everything we needed to learn the new skill. Would recommend
• 5/5 from Simone Edwards, attended Apr 2025: It was a great class! The space was lovely, and the style and content of the session were well-paced. We had so much fun.

• 5/5 from Alex Murphy, attended Apr 2025: Class was brilliant and the teacher Helena was the best. She was so thorough in her explanation and super helpful throughout the class. Loved it!! Thank you
• 5/5 from Wade Olesinski, attended Apr 2025: An all around great experience. The teacher was great very helpful. All in all a very fun and enjoyable experience
• 1/5 from Sandra Robinson, attended Apr 2025: This course was conducted in Collingwood. This course was overcrowded (15 people) and simply demonstrated gluing a broken plate with enough gold coloured glue that it oozed out of the crack. The end result was a 'blobby' uneven repair that appeared to have been done by a kindergarten child and is an insult to this fine art..

• 5/5 from Elaine Chan, attended Mar 2025: Love the class! It's easy to pick up as a beginner, and the instructor Helena was very helpful as well! Highly recommended :)
• 5/5 from Christine Conlin, attended Mar 2025: I found this class (that had been gifted to me) to be a very pleasant and mindful experience. The atmosphere was relaxed as the space had been well prepared before the class arrived, the directions were clear, and the tutor was both very approachable and knowledgeable. The time quickly flew, and I enjoyed simply focusing on the task at hand. Many thanks & warm regards CC

• 4/5 from Marcus Lee, attended Feb 2025: Instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to guide through the class
• 5/5 from Jackie Clough, attended Jan 2025: Modern Kintsugi class was a Christmas present for my husband. We both really enjoyed the class. Helena was lovely, knowledgeable and ready to help save us from our near disasters. We learnt enough to be able to give it a go at home. We took a stack of op shop purchases to learn on and came home with two completed plates each. Highly recommend. Fun afternoon.
• 5/5 from Natasha Amendola, attended Jan 2025: To the point with instruction, which were very clear. Personally, I would have liked a little bit about the history of Kintsugi. It was lovely to be able to restore my grandmother's Japanese bowl, not pictured. The picture shows my practice pieces.

• 5/5 from Kathleen Testro, attended Nov 2024: Very enjoyable class and great space for classes
• 2/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: We learnt to mix gold dust with glue. I think this was easy enough to youtube and a class is not needed. After applying glue, it meant that our broken plates, bowls and mugs were no longer food safe. Would've liked to have learnt the history and meaning behind kintsugi. Teacher was friendly and helpful. Beautiful venue with hot drinks provided.
• 5/5 from Bronte How, attended Oct 2024: My wife and I went to this workshop on a bit of a whim, something different to do on a Sunday after a weird couple of months. I couldn't recommend the experience more, don't feel you have to wait for a special occasion to go. Helena is a skilled a friendly instructor, who explains everything in such a way that you are never left feeling intimidated by the task. The space was airy and light, and the whole class had a relaxed atmosphere.
• 5/5 from Julianne Marshall, attended Oct 2024: This was a fantastic class. The teacher gave clear instructions and provided support when needed. Materials were provided. We purchased a plate and bowl set but you could also bring your own which we did as well. It was great value for money with plenty of time to finish a number of pieces. I loved the chill atmosphere. There as great music playing, the whole process was calming and relaxing. We both loved the class and look forward to mending many broken things at home!
• 5/5 from Helena Butkovich, attended Sep 2024: Just finished an awesome Kintsugi class. Helena was very informative and supportive. There was plenty of time to observe the process and then put the learnings into practice. We took away enough information and products to do more pieces at home. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and venue was very comfortable (there are stairs to the venue if you're not fully mobile). Highly recommended
• 4/5 from David Tite, attended Sep 2024: great teacher suggest more information about the traditions of kintsugi and the cultural/social principles about making good something that you have broken
