We had an amazing afternoon learning about Kintsugi with Hisae-san. Her gentle nature and love for her art shone though as she directed us in preparing and completing our plates. We thorough recommend this workshop that I bought for my partners birthday. The whole process including communication was first rate. Thankyou

It was lovely to meet Aki and Hisae, Hisae was my Kitsungi Sensei and she was the most patient and friendly teacher. I learnt the mordern Kitsungi and had so much fun fixing a broken plate back to new.

An Absolutely Wonderful Experience!I can honestly say this was one of the best workshops I have ever attended!I have been fascinated by the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi for some time, but yesterday’s two-hour workshop exceeded all my expectations.Our teacher, Hisae-san, was absolutely wonderful - kind, gentle, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained each step so clearly and thoughtfully, creating a relaxed and welcoming environment where learning felt effortless and enjoyable.There was something incredibly satisfying about taking a broken ceramic plate and transforming it into something beautiful again. Not only did I learn a fascinating new technique, but I also discovered a creative passion that I genuinely want to continue exploring.I left the workshop feeling inspired, accomplished and excited to learn more. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already booked a four-hour workshop for my birthday!A heartfelt thank you to Hisae-san for sharing her knowledge and passion so generously. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, whether you’re simply curious about Kintsugi or looking for a meaningful new creative outlet.Five stars simply aren’t enough! ✨

It was such a treat to have a private Kintsugi class with Hanae! The class was so much fun, and Hanae is a fantastic teacher. She was incredibly patient, friendly, and informative throughout the entire process, never making me feel rushed. I truly learned a lot and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

What a great class! I got the voucher for Christmas and finally got around to booking in with my boyfriend. The class is just the right balance of history, showing and actually doing. We walked away with our creative needs fulfilled for a while and two lovely kintsugi plates for our home! Our hosts were delightful.

Kyoko Kusumoto • Attended Sep 2026
This is a great introduction to Kintsugi along with some very appropriate reflections on the Japanese way of thinking and reflection about life itself. The instructor is well-organised, clear in guiding the participants and very encouraging of each participant's efforts. Whilst Kintsugi might seem daunting at first, you are taken through each step clearly and come to realise it is accessible to everyone. A highly recommended activity that was time well spent.
Avidelle Goldie • Attended Sep 2026
Hisae was very patient and knowledgeable in my Beginners Kintsugi Workshop today. I learned a lot about the history and the steps were easy to follow. I enjoyed my time in the workshop. Thank you Hisae for your time

This class was great, the process was more complex that I expected but the teachers were fabulous and broke down the steps and helped everyone every step of the way. Hitomi is extremely patient and gave everyone personalised attention durinig thelesson and ensured we were all confident to move on to the next step. Jun was also dreat, jumping in and helping and providing advice as needed. At the end of the lesson it was great to see eveyone so pleased with what they had achieved, a challenging yet satisfiing class! Thanks H and J!

Wonderful introduction to kintsugi - repairing with gold. Loved the philosophy of highlighting flaws instead of hiding them. Hitomi and Juno explained the process clearly, were very patient and ensured everyone created a beautiful piece to take home.

Traditional Kintsugi Two-day Course
This course was a gift. The teacher was very easy to understand and gave good instructions and demonstrations. A small class of 6 enabled good group interaction as well as one on one instruction. Even though the process usually takes much longer waiting for the materials to dry, the course was arranged so all steps could be experienced.

Really enjoyed the Kintsugi workshop with Jun and Hitomi! They were friendly and interesting and happy to share their high levels of skill and experience with the group. They gave us a great history and background on Kintsugi and showed us some basic techniques. The process was more in-depth than I expected and I had a fantastic time!
Dianne Hall • Attended Aug 2026
Kintsugi Workshop for Beginners
Such a great class - so enjoyable. So NOT the quick YouTube clip superficially presented by someone outside the Japanese culture. Japanese teachers with a deep knowledge & commitment to the long history of Kintsugi but adapted for beginners using materials readily available in Australia. Easy-to-follow instructions, supported by visuals, demonstrations & written instructions with individual hands-on-guidance. Japanese language & symbolism interwoven to give a rich experience - & we walked away with our own kintsugi, encouraged to do more.

Jun San’s mastery at Kintsugi was clear, with knowledge and skills honed over decades. But what made this class so enjoyable was his ability to teach the skills, offer gentle guidance, and share his enthusiasm for the craft.

Highly recommended if you're interested in learning japanese culture and want to take home a skill that can be applied at home!

Our teacher Jun was an absolute delight and taught us about the history of Kintsugi before guiding us through the process. It was a gift and never something we would’ve thought to book ourselves but we’ll be recommending as had so much fun! The tea and snacks provided were also delicious. Thank you Jun.

Charlotte & Rory • Attended Aug 2026
My partner and I did a kintsugi workshop for our 5-year anniversary and we really enjoyed it. Jun and Hitomi were very accomodating and organised, even sending us a message prior to the workshop that the lift was out of order and to use the stairs. During the workshop, they clearly showed the techniques of Kintsugi so that the group could follow, they monitored us and encouraged us. We're very happy with the result! Even though it was a bit challenging at times, we never felt rushed to complete a step in the process. You can see they are both passionate about the art of Kintsugi and are very knowledgeable about it. We appreciated learning a bit about the background of the art form and about their journey to build their business! Thanks again!
Laura Armstrong • Attended Aug 2026
This class was excellent. Jun and Hitoshi provided lots of information about the history and technique of kintsugi, the process of making a kintsugi plate was fun and the class size was just right. And I have a beautiful plate!
