Our workshop was so fun, everything was explained properly step by step. Akki demonstrated what we would be doing and checked our progress and provided advice as needed. Would highly recommend this workshop!
Excellent class. In addition to learning how to, I enjoyed hearing about the history of Kintsugi, and the instructor/hosts were great. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed the class, learned alot not only about Kintsugi but also some historical background. Exchanged ideas and how it relates to other Japanese art techniques. The instructor was patience and totally involved in giving us the skills to do it at home.
Jun Sensai is amazing and his wife Hitomi Sensai are amazing teachers and are a delight. The class is well paced and offers complete beginners a place to start repairing ceramics with gold immediately. Highly recommend this course
This was such a fun and enjoyable class! A perfect way to spend a relaxing Sunday morning getting brilliant and very supportive instruction on how to do Kintsugi. Our mended plates are beautiful!
We spent the morning learning kintsugi with 3 other friends. Our instructors were really knowledgeable and patient. The class was really well paced and a great mix of information, crafting and breaks. We honestly had the best morning together learning how to bring back together our broken plate.
Really, really enjoyed this class. Jun was a fabulous teacher. He was very patient and made sure everyone left with a beautiful Kintsugi piece. Definitely would recommend for anyone.
Jun-san and Hitomi-san were lovely. We had a great time. The instructions were easy to follow, our plates look lovely, and the little treats we were given were a lovely surprise. Highly recommend!
Jun and Hotomi were great teachers - very knowledgeable and fun. The class went at a good pace. I really enjoyed it - it was an excellent intro to kintsugi and gave me the confidence to try at home.
We had a wonderful time at this Kintsugi Workshop. Our instructor was excellent and a very patient teacher. My husband and I were so happy with the final result - we have been recommending the experience to all our family and friends!
Akki and Hisae were the kindest couple and instructors. They were very patient and great to have a conversation with. We learned a lot about kintsugi and had so my fun making our own.
This class was excellent. The hosts are so warm, welcoming, and respectful; happy to share their knowldge and experiences like friends. The instructions are straight forward and not too difficult and the end product is a lovely piece to take home with you.Would gladly recommend this class to any family or friends.
I loved that the class was very small, and that everythjng we needed was individually set out for us on arrival. Our teacher Miyoko-san was very careful in how she instructed us, was encouraging and informative. It was also very interesting to learn about the history of the art form.Halfway through we had a tea break - a Japanese tea and snacks.Even though I was there on my own, we all chatted, had a few laughs and when finished admired each other's finished plate.Miyoko-san asked us if we we minded if the class went go over time, but we were all quite happy to stay.I can recommend this class for anyone who is interested as it was fun, easy and you go home with a beautiful item, the knowledge and all the information you need to try it at home, do another class like Kintsugi jewellery making or come back to the Dojo with your own broken china to put back together
The class was great. We really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was very cozy. We've been served some Japanese treats and green tea, which was lovely. Highly recommended.
After being interested in Kintsugi for a long time, I decided to try the traditional Kintsugi course. My teacher, Miyoko Sensei, was so patient and encouraging and coming back to learn with her for my second and third lessons was something I really looked forward to. The philosophy of Kintsugi is so beautiful and I’m very glad I’ve started to learn how to implement this beautiful art form!
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.
Hisae-san is very enthusiastic and a great supportive teacher, making sure we understood the beautiful philosophy behind kintsugi. It was a lovely experience.
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 fabulous workshop. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!! I took my Mum and sister and we all loved it!!!! Our teachers were so lovely and patient and we have beautiful pieces to take home. We loved all the history shared as part of it. I'm planning my next workshop with them already.
What a fabulous class. Karen and I thoroughly enjoyed this creative and cultural experience. Our teacher, Hisae San, was so supportive and encouraging. We would recommend this course to anyone - in our case it was a great Christmas gift! Thank you so very much.
Highly recommend it. The class itself is very fun and the teacher was great. She was very nice and helpful in every step of the process.I got this class as a Christmas gift for my wife. Getting the gift card and using it to book the class was very straightforward. We both enjoyed the workshop immensely.
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.
