My experience for this class was great! Out teacher Miyoko-sensei were attentive to each students and super helpful!
It's a good beginner class to Kintsugi but noted that the plate is ornamental only so those who want the plate as tableware will need to do their longer class.

I did the modern kintsugi course earlier and did this traditional course to compare. They are quite different methods but Jun is extremely proficient at passing on his knowledge. Modern is for those wanting instant gratification while traditional takes patience and is most satisfying, almost therapeutic. As traditional method usually takes many weeks to complete a small piece we only had 6 hours in which to do the same. Therefore Jun teaches the steps and methods and we will use that knowledge to complete our own works.

Perfectly pitched for total beginners but not over-simplified. We learned about the history, materials and tools as well as learning and practicing our skills at each step in the process. The kit made it easy to set up and complete each step, and it was so well explained that we understood why each step and element is important.
Our teacher Kumi was knowledgeable, generous kind, patient and helpful at every step without being overbearing.
She helped us check our progress at points throughout the class but also left time to get absorbed in each step and really practice the skills so that we can apply them to future projects.
The kit had everything we needed and the suggestions on extra supplies were helpful and made the whole process a very relaxed, yet also engaging and fun experience.
The skills we were taught were very useful and will be applied to repairing items in our lives now.
One of the best learning experiences I have ever had. + more

Kintsugi Workshop for Beginners
The beginner kintsugi class was a genuinely lovely experience and our teachers were so friendly and knowledgeable. I have loved the art for a little while but never thought I would be able to learn for myself! I’m very happy with the amount of information we learned, and Jun and Hitomi were very welcoming and passionate about their craft.
Highly recommended!

I loved this modern Kintsugi 2 hour course in which we completed the repair of a plate broken into 3 pieces. All materials were supplied and were all we needed. Jun and Hitomo took us through the process step by step and made it easy to understand and execute. I will look forward to the two day Traditional Kintsugi course.

Jun San is a very nice and patient teacher. The classroom is small but keeps social distancing very well. Kintsugi is a very unique art. I love it very much.

Jun was really good and helpful.
Gave very good and interesting explanations which included history of the craft and its beginnings.
The learning environment was enjoyable, relaxed and friendly.
Very satisfying with a completed Kintsugi plate to take home.

The teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful. The class was divided into 2 so I had only myself and someone else in the class. Lots of interesting facts and history regarding Kintsugi was provided and I came away with a great little serving plate.

That was a very pleasant class. The teacher Kumi was really knowledgeable, she explained types of Kintsugi and the history of how Kintsugi was started.
The kit they sent had everything I needed and actually plenty of more materials left over. I just have to smash more ceramics to be fixed with Kintsugi technique, hahaha.
I am so happy with my first attempt. This will be my earring dish.
