I had the pleasure of doing Jun’s beginner Kintsugi class and I had the most amazing time! He was very personable, knowledgeable and professional. We had a great chat about Japan over some green tea and Japanese snacks. His class has really kicked off my interest in Kintsugi and cannot wait to come back for another class

An excellent class introducing kintsugi to the beginner, excellent guidance by the instructors providing some background as well as how to apply this technique with modern materials. It was great to learn a new skill that is about repairing and prolonging use. Great course and now wanting to sign up for the four day course!

It was a relaxing session, and the plates we made were beautiful!

The classes were small (just the two of us!) - highly recommend for friends / couples to go together.

The center is very covid safe as well, taking care to teach from behind a screen.

Each step of the process was explained in great detail and Hitomi was always able to help. In the end we put together beautiful looking plates that were unique.

This class was sooo good! The teacher, Noriko-san, was lovely and helpful. I was surprised at how many steps there were, but Noriko-san made it so easy and was a great instructor. We loved her!

She explained every step very clearly, helped when we needed it, but let us do the fun work. We also got a nice history of kintsugi and the philosophy. My friend and I had such a good time, we would totally do this class again!

We also got a chance to meet the Kintsugi Master; the other instructor checked in on us, too, and she was as nice and encouraging and Noriko-san - I am confident that any of the instructors would be great to have.

Highly recommend

Absolutely wonderful! Jun San, a Kintsugi master, has an incredible wealth of knowledge that he shares in his class, skills and knowledge learnt from months spent with Kintsugi masters in Japan.

As well as his great skill, Jun San is also very personable (and a great laugh!), which makes for a very enjoyable class.

Big thank you to Everyone (an Hitomi) for a wonderful experience :)
