Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners
The class was fantastic! I took my mum for a birthday present and it was perfect for that. Hitomi taught us a lot, not just about the process of kintsugi but about the history behind it as well. She was very patient with us and made sure that we left with a beautiful finished product. We will definitely be back!

Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners
I bought this as gift for my daughter and we attended together, It was so good I’d do It again. I received an sms in the morning to let me know what to do when we arrived, that was helpful. Our teacher Hitomi was extremely informative and explained the history of kintsugi and how she and her husband became involved with it. We were provided with written information and an ample supply of equipment neatly organised in front of us, the session was very well organised. Hitomi was just lovely, we really enjoyed spending time with her; her knowledge, passion and hospitality made it a great experience.

What a fun way to spend an afternoon! Not only was it satisfying to learn a new skill and create something beautiful but chatting with Kumi was like hanging out with an old friend. Loved every second of this workshop.

Incredible experience! Hitomi san (I hope I got that right!) is so patient and knowledgeable. It was such a relaxing 2 hours learning some history, making some jewellery and drinking some tea. Will definitely go back to do their other classes.

The class was part educational and part entertaining. The teacher showed as many photos of past students and celebrities alike that took the kintsugi classes. There was a dedicated venue for the classes and the location was very central in the CBD, although parking maybe in an issue if driving. The class allows you to have a taste sample of what is involved in kintsugi without a lot of time commitment. I liked the practical nature of the class where we come away with a beautiful piece of our own handiwork. I appreciate the philosophy behind the art form. I would recommend if only to understand the principle behind the form.

I was lucky enough to have Hitomi on my own. She’s a great teacher who explains well the method of making accessories using kintsugi method, and also it’s history and philosophy. She was very patient and encouraging.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 hrs with this beautiful person and came away with earrings and pendant which I am keen to wear - but I’ve got to wait till tomorrow

This was both fun and interesting! Jun and Hitomi were warm and patient sensei. I really enjoyed learning the process and hope to use these skills to keep practicing at home. The method was very hands on with clear steps. There was an older child in the class, and the teachers were kind and encouraging with him, so it's something all ages can enjoy!
