This class was fantastic. My teacher Hisae gave clear instructions, and also taught about the history and culture behind this beautiful art. Convenient CBD location, close to bus/trains/metro. Would highly recommend to anyone considering it!!

I have done many conventional, Western style ceramic repairs in the course of my work and, while many of these repairs were of a high standard, I always felt that a repaired item was somehow of 'less' aesthetic value than it was before it was broken. I now understand that there is a way to make a repair that adds, rather than detracts, from an object's beauty. The class was a joy.
Belinda Martelli • Attended Jul 2026
The teacher was very friendly, and she walked us through the history of Kintsugi as well as explaining the process. Highly recommend this activity for small teams!
Sarah Hogg • Attended Jul 2026
I really really enjoyed this class. It was informative, entertaining, and the hosts were very helpful. It is a fast paced class which might be tough if you are any kind of perfectionist (like me); but don't let that stop you. You will love it.
Pam Brown • Attended Jul 2026
I absolutely enjoyed the class. Our instructors Jun Sun and his wife were excellent- they provided clear instructions and encouragement, along with providing assistance. JunSun provided the wonderful history of Kintsugi along with his journey to excel in this beautiful craft. JunSun provided clear step by step instructions, stressed the importance of some of the steps, as well as the provisions of safety gear if needed by students. I highly recommend this class. Thank you. (Gift card process was easy to access).

This was Jennifer's second time doing this class
A carefully crafted session - with perfect timing to allow the beginner Kintsugi to be completed. Very interesting history shared. This workshop sends you home with a great project, many things to ponder on psychology, and confidence to take on beautiful repairs at home.

Traditional Kintsugi Two-day Intensive Course
Wonderful! Presenters are warm and friendly and have enormous knowledge and skills. The material was delivered in context with historical elements that added meaning to the skills being taught. The instruction was clear, well demonstrated and students were well supported. A fantastic experience.

Hisae-san was lovely!!! We had such a great time :)
Sharon Horsburgh • Attended Jul 2026
I was totally blown away by our teachers Jun and his lovely wife. They were very patient and spoke about the history of Kintsugi and general knowledge about Japan. I recommend this wonderful course to anyone! (Ps. They also sell take home kits (except for the glue, putty and micha powder), for $38.50, if you wish to continue what you have learned.
Karen Schelbach • Attended Jul 2026
Fabulous class with highly skilled teachers. We stepped through the kintsugi process and I was very happy with my results. Our teachers Hitumi and Jun were so lovely, and very patient to explain the steps and provided lots of hands on help and advice while we worked on our pieces. I very much enjoyed the additional stories and information about Japan that they shared. And the Japanese snacks for afternoon tea were a delicious surprise! Thank you
Carolyn Wright • Attended Jul 2026
A workshop to remember! I loved everything about this class. Highly recommend. Thank-you, Hitomi and Jun!

This class was amazing! Both Jun and Hitomi were fantastic! They were so friendly, patient and taught us in an easy to understand way! They provided us with a great overview of Japan.
Jason Pang • Attended Jul 2026
I took my wife as a surprise date and she was so excited when she saw the door with the sign. I had seen Kintsugi and was interested to learn how to make a piece. We created beautiful plates with gold lines. I was impressed by the intensity of the gold. Our teacher explained the history and method clearly and was friendly and patient. Alongside her assistant, they helped us create beautiful Kintsugi. Recommended for an interesting class! We will use our plates for sure.
Lesley Urwin • Attended Jul 2026
Such a great class, really well organised, clear instructions and a beautiful plate to take home
Richard Zhang • Attended Jul 2026
Such a brilliant experience. Hisae and Aki were both so nice. Would 100%recommend for anyone looking for a fun activity to do as group or for a cute date!! Even if you’re just curious and want to learn, it’s such a welcoming environment so don’t be afraid to go alone!
Sarah Lewis • Attended Jul 2026
Very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable teachers. Thank you Jun-san and Hitomi-san!

So fun, and lovely to finish with a beautiful plate and philosophy! Hitomi and Jun were excellent teachers!
Joanne Stuart • Attended Jul 2026
The teacher was great at explaining and demonstrating the kintsugi technique and I felt I learnt a lot. He was also entertaining! It was a fun way to learn to mend broken ceramics and I’ll be going back to mend a couple of my things.
Eugene Kwan • Attended Jul 2026
As a family event we had a wonderful time. Hisae-san was very friendly and helpful, teaching us not just the art of Kintsugi but also it's history. A very practical and and artistic skill to applied day to day.
Kayal Manamohan • Attended Jul 2026
Great class with good explanations about the origin of kintsugi and a good amount of hands on work.
Paula Bennett • Attended Jul 2026
This was a really interesting and authentic experience, and the instructors/organisers were very professional, helpful and friendly. Just having 3 of us in the class was a bonus. My only suggestion is for the sample plate to be less decorative and more like the image for the sake of aesthetics, but apart from that, everything was great.
Justine Kain • Attended Jul 2026
I really enjoyed this class! It was fun and informative, and was challenging without being too difficult and still brought a feeling of peace while working throught the steps. Jun and Hitomi were absolutely lovely and so supportive. I left the class feeling really proud of myself and my work, and find myself looking forward to my next bout of clumsiness and what I can make from it!
Kyokotsumura Baker • Attended Jul 2026
Highly recommended! A deep and beautiful experience.I really enjoyed the Kintsugi beginner class. The instructor Hisae shared a bit of the history behind Kintsugi, which made the experience even more special and meaningful. The class was very patient and easy to follow for beginners. Thank you so much!
Paul Sutton • Attended Jul 2026

A great class. Hitomi was a great teacher conveying lots of information and skills in a compact timeframe. Really enjoyed it!!
Joanne Tran • Attended Jul 2026
Master Jun-san and Hitomi-san were charming, engaging and certainly experts in their craft. Master Jun's lesson was delivered with clarity and his guidance helped me craft my first Kintsugi piece of which I'm very proud of.
Rebecca Banks • Attended Jul 2026
This was a birthday present. I learned a new art form. The principal of repairing the broken to make it better than new is wonderful. A lovely immersion in Japanese culture. Thank you again.
Robert Neill • Attended Jul 2026

Jun is an amazing teacher! A fun, relaxing, and educational experience.
Carolyn Trotter • Attended Jul 2026
We loved this class, so much more than learning a new skill. We were introduced to different aspects of Japanese culture as well as travel tips. The simplicity of how to keep your work space clean was delightful. Teaching was so effectively delivered that we are off to buy our supplies today and practice. Thank you
Penny • Attended Jul 2026
We learnt the basics of Kintsugi in just a couple of hours. Hisae-san was a clear and concise teacher; it was a great learning experience Thank you!

A truly awesome experience. Thank you so much Hisae sensei! You were knowledgeable, patient, skilful, positive and friendly! This was a highlight of my trip.I will do kintsugi again.
Juliano Battaglia • Attended Jul 2026
Jun provided a most insightful and playful history as well as clear instruction :) Even if you’re not sure how you’re doing, should you need, Jun will help with touch-ups if you feel you need it, however will also encourage you to try on your own first (remember nothing has to be perfect; beauty can reside in the imperfections) he’s a master of his craft and it was such a privilege to be taught by him.If you like cute themed snacks, they provide you with some delicious little treats during a green-tea break :) - thank you Hitomi! Thank you, Jun!
Nicole Giezekamp • Attended Jul 2026
Great class today with Jun! We loved learning about the history and philosophy behind Kintsugi. Jun is a gentle and encouraging teacher and we both are very happy with our first Kintsugi plate. Highly recommend booking this class.
Louise • Attended Jul 2026
Creative, informative and fun. My husband arranged it as an activity for us to enjoy together. I can highly recommend it as a date-day experience or for a group of friends looking for something different to do. Small class of 6. Jun-san was a great teacher. Bonus - I have my beautifully imperfect repaired plate as a keepsake.
Michael Palmer • Attended Jul 2026
Booked this as a bit of a time filler for a "date weekend". Very interesting, good fun, informative and useful skills learned. Absolutely recommended.

We had a great time at Jun and Kitomi’s Kintsugi class. An engaging and interesting history and presentation about Japan, culture and Kintsugi.

Cigdem Izgi • Attended Jun 2026
We had such a great time learning and creating in this class. Hisae san was very friendly, helpful and took time instructing us personally. We went home with a beautiful restored plate.
