What a delight to attend the Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop. Hisae and Akki were both delighful and made the whole session a lot of fun. We had a very enjoyable time. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience! Hisae and Aki are amazing teachers and guided us through the techniques and history of Kitsugi. It was a great birthday present for my wife and we will be back again!
A wonderful workshop! We booked a private class to celebrate a Hens (8 people). Everyone had such a great time learning and doing Kintsugi. Everything was well prepared and our instructors were very kind and accommodating 10/10 would recommend! We will be back for their other workshops in the future!Thank you so much!
Very fun and easy to follow the teachers advice. Took the initiative to help whenever we were struggling and demonstrated all the mistakes that we could've made and the impacts of those mistakes.
Miyoko is very nice and helpful, she explained and answered a lots of my questions. The class was prepared well with steps written clearly so it can be recalled later when doing it again. After this one, I feel like very interested in joining the traditional classes too. Thanks again Miyoko.Kent
Our teacher was great, she explained every step simply and helped me when I needed it. The class was a good length of time and the end result was beautiful. Highly recommend!
It was very lovely to learn kintsugi with Miyoko! She was very friendly and attentive to every step I was taking. I enjoyed learning this tradition art of repairing things and the history and philosophy behind it.
Miyoko was a kind, calm and encouraging teacher who guided the class with clear instructions. She demonstrated each step for clarity and watched to see we were successful. There was a small refreshment of green tea, rice cracker, and matcha kit kat that was delicious.It was so exciting to bring the finished plate home.
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.
Miyoko was really nice and patient. It's my second time attending this class, so I got to glue together a bowl. I was reminded of history of Kintsugi while doing it. I was the only one so I got all of Miyoko's attention which was different! Drinks and snacks were provided.
Absolutely loved this class. Miyoko our teacher was so wonderful to teach us this timeless skill. She guided us to make such a beautiful handmade piece that anyone would love to recieve as a gift.
Lovely and engaging teacher. Had a culturally enriching experience with June and Hitomi. Learnt a lot about kintsugi and the history of it. The kintsugi plates came out better than if it was new.
The class was bought as a Christmas present for us. Jun and Hitomi were delightful - the class had the right amount of education and background information and then we spent most of the time actually doing the kintsugi. Instructions were really clear, and Jun-san was very patient and encouraging even when our work wasn't great! It was a really memorable and enjoyable Japanese experience - with lovely Japanese green tea and snacks included. Thank you Jun-san and Hitomi-san!
Jun was a fantastic teacher. He showed us all the steps and we were able to all complete a lovely plate to take home. I would highly recommend this class.
It was a wonderful experience, very peaceful. Our instructors Hisae and Akki were very sweet and made us feel very welcome:) We are looking forward to coming back to try the Raden workshop as well!
The class was great, teacher was fantastic, giving great instructions and the history of Kintsugi. The end result was fantastic and I was very happy with it
Jun demonstrated exceptional expertise and enthusiasm regarding kintsugi. He meticulously outlined the step-by-step process and the necessary materials for repairing our broken plate. The final outcome was truly remarkable. Outstanding work, Jun.
We came for a birthday gift and really enjoyed learning new skills and discovering the Kinstugi philosophy. The atmosphere was very comfortable and Jun-san is a great teacher.We received a lot of very helpful advice and very positive guidance.Highly recommend!
Most amazing class and technique to fix broken plates.If only I had learnt it earlier on, I could have saved so many of my things.Teacher was very good at explaining the technique for beginners.Would like to do another class with them.
We loved the kintsugi class. Jun was a fantastic teacher, who was calm, patient and encouraging. We leant the history of kintsugi and a new skill. Highly recommend the class. The afternoon tea was also a highlight. Thanks Jun!
I had a wonderful experience at the kintsugi class. It was exactly what I was looking for informative, interactive, and thoughtfully conducted.The instructor shared rich insights into the history of kintsugi, along with his personal journey into the craft, which made the session even more engaging and meaningful. The guidance throughout was detailed and easy to follow, with clear step-by-step instructions that made the process accessible and enjoyable.Both the instructor and his wife were incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a comfortable and authentic environment. It truly felt like a genuine Japanese kintsugi experience rather than just a workshop.I thoroughly enjoyed the entire session and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning this beautiful art form.
Hisae San and Akki San were amazing and such good hosts. The class was fun & they were so helpful and guided the session with so much care and attention. Learnt a lot more about the history of Kintsugi & Hisae San was lovely with running this session. We had the best time & they even went out of their way to sing happy birthday to my partner as it was a gift for him & he loved it
I took the Kintsugi class in Brisbane with Jun & Hitomi on March 29th. The class was a real highlight! Jun & Hitomi were super encouraging and knowledgeable ensuring everyone created a piece to take home that they were proud of! They made the class interactive and went far beyond just the process of kintsugi but taught us about the history and philosophy of kintsugi, as well as their own story about how kintsugi came into their life. I could not be happier with my experience and the piece they helped me to create!
Our teachers Hisae and Akki were thorough and kind, and I learned interesting historical things not just about Kintsugi, but about Japanese culture. The whole experience was professional yet relaxed, calm and most of all, fun. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to do something creative and peaceful.
My partner and I loved learning about the history and philosophy of Kintsugi. The workshop was engaging and we both walked away with something truly beautiful that we will cherish for years to come.
Jun-SAN is a master craftsman and a master teacher. He was patient, kind and encouraging. He apologised up front for his limited English but communicated very effectively throughout the course. I really appreciated his love of the kintsugi art in its traditional form. I would highly recommend this course if you are interested in going on to practice the art and repair your own items.
The teachers were excellent. Kind, informative, helpful, could not ask for more. We learned how to do Kintsugi, got a history lesson and had a really pleasant morning. I totally recommend this class.
