This is honestly the best class I've ever tried so far. Kumi is a great teacher and we love that she also taught us the history and philosophy of Kintsugi. The whole process was easy to follow and the result is rewarding. I can't recommend this class enough :)

Jun-san is a great teacher. He explains very well the history of Kintsugi, how it started in Japan during the samurai era, and the philosophy behind it. When it comes to repairing the plate, he makes you feel confident and helps you if needed. Arigato Jun-San!

Wonderful activity for small group or family (kids 12+yo). Jun is a delightful, skilled teacher. Our session included fascinating historical intro, excellent demonstration and instruction, lots of encouragement, and no mistakes! - just learning to appreciate the unique beauty of each piece. No need to bring anything, and a lovely cup of green tea and a Japanese snack were included. And we each brought home our own unique pieces of functional and beautiful ceramic art! Do try for yourself.

That was a very pleasant class. The teacher Kumi was really knowledgeable, she explained types of Kintsugi and the history of how Kintsugi was started.
The kit they sent had everything I needed and actually plenty of more materials left over. I just have to smash more ceramics to be fixed with Kintsugi technique, hahaha.
I am so happy with my first attempt. This will be my earring dish.

My sister and I enrolled in the beginners Kintsugi workshop and really enjoyed it. Our teacher was informative, and shared some interesting history on the art form. Each step was demonstrated and we had ample time and assistance to work on our own plate. We each finished with a completed plate and an understanding of the skills to make our own at home. I would recommend this class.

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop
The venue was air conditioned, easy to find and very simple - much like the concept of Kintsugi. Noriko-sensei was courteous, patient and most of all, lovely to talk to. She was hands-on during the workshop, providing great feedback to ensure we took home a lovely plate. I was in a class with a total of 6 people.
The steps were easy to follow (I am a complete novice - my first time doing any sort of crafts workshop) and though its a 2hr workshop (quoted), we ended up finishing up in 2.5 hours as she ensured that our finished products were at a good standard.
I would highly recommend this class to any beginners who want to do a fun couple activity or if they're interested in making a simple ornamental piece for their home.
Thank you Noriko-sensei for your kindness! I will definitely recommend this to my friends.

I loved the class! I had booked a private class for me and my boyfriend after he had finished reading the book 'Kintsugi' by Tomas Navarro, and he was so happy applying his reading into physical art. The book was also mentioned in the class which was great and the teacher went through the history of Kintsugi too. The process of repair and painting was fun and relaxing and when the teacher played Studio Ghibli music and provided some sencha to drink, that was truly the cherry on top. Especially with the calm and gentle demeanour of the instructor, I was in absolute zen mode and transported to Japan . Highly recommend this activity to anyone who wishes to enjoy the process of Kintsugi while immersing in an art history lesson.

I had such a lovely time at this class. Nitsuko is a lovely, kind and patient teacher. I learnt a lot about the craft itself and Japanese history. We also had a lovely Japanese snack and tea which really gave the class a nice touch. I came home immediately and fixed the plate that was my father's which I broke more than two years ago. My sister is bringing over some other pieces of hers that I can fix as I type! Thank you for a really wonderful morning and sharing your skills.

I loved this class Hitomi is so warm and knowledgeable she is kind and tolerant , guiding me through the story behind Kintsugi and then the steps I needed to do to produce my Kintsugi dish.For me the class was not only about learning how to make something lovely from something that was broken but was a step towards my own healing. I walked out of the class with a beautiful plate and a lighter heart. I intend to come back and learn the traditional method of Kintsugi.

Enjoyed my beginner Kintsugi class very much. The teacher was very knowledgeable, and the final product looked lovely if you follow her instructions. Loved the nice touch of providing Japanese tea and snacks for a tea break! There were 5 in our class and it took 2.5 hours at a perfect, relaxed (but not slow) pace. I may have felt rushed it we had to do it in 2 hours and there are quite a few steps.
