Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners

Recent reviews of Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners

• 5/5 from Carolyn Wright, attended May 2026: I recently attended the Kintsugi accessory workshop at the Sydney studio and had such a wonderful experience. I created a pair of earrings and a brooch, and the workshop was beautifully guided by Miyoko, who was incredibly welcoming and generous with her knowledge. Her hints, tips, and gentle encouragement helped make the whole experience feel achievable and successful, even for beginners. A thoughtful addition to the workshop was the opportunity to pause and enjoy green tea and delicious snacks, which added to the calm and welcoming atmosphere of the experience. The workshop itself felt both creative and meaningful, and it was so special to learn more about the philosophy, history, and practice of kintsugi in such an authentic and supportive environment. I left with pieces I’m genuinely proud of and memories of a truly unique experience.

She was so generous with her time and thoughts and passion to help everyone.
