It was a very interesting experience. It was an opportunity to think about the beauty and preciousness of imperfection. I thought the philosophy behind Kintsugi was wonderful.
I had my Kintsugi class on Good Friday and I LOVED IT! Akki & Hisae were both lovely. I had fun learning the art of repairing broken plate, and really enjoyed how they shared some background (history) of Kintsugi & Japanese philosophy. Also, it was a nice touch to have a little tea break in between where we could have green tea with mini Japanese snacks (matcha Kit-Kats!). I walked away with a big smile and very happy with my kintsugi plate. Thank you Akki & Hisae!
Really lovely experience. Akki and Hisae were so kind and helpful and knowledgeable and funny. I learned a lot - not just technique but also background and history of Kintsugi. I very much recommend this wonderful workshop.
Loved this workshop with a small group and a lovely Japanese teacher. Learnt so much about the art of kintsugi and made a beautiful keepsake item to take home. We were provided with hot tea and some snacks which was a lovely gesture.
An absolutely brilliant course! Akki and Hisae embody the philosophy of kintsugi, sharing their stories and the spirit of Kintsugi — the beauty of imperfection — and the idea of ichi-go ichi-e, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. would highly recommend to everyone
Richard and I had a wonderful Kintsugi workshop. Our teachers, Akki and Hisae were great in explaining and demonstrating the techniques. The class ran smoothly and all tools and materials were provided. It was a really fun and interesting experience and we love the beautiful plates we got to take home.
I was a little nervous going into this class. When it comes to arts and crafts the best I can do is stick figures. But the class was great, the teacher patient, positive and walked us through step by step. I loved that I had something at the end of the class that looked good and the grandchildren would not tease me about. Thank you.
My teen son & I loved the Beginner Kintsugi Workshop. Aki-sensei was masterful, generous and warm-hearted. Every step was clearly demonstrated. Japanese culture and history was woven in. We really enjoyed the short tea break, sipping on Japanese tea, while we waited for our work to dry. Aki-sensei passed on his love for Kintsugi, for the beauty of imperfection, and the healing of broken things through the timeless art of Kintsugi. Aki’s wife, Hisae, assisted and their love and warmth and artistry made it really hard to leave the studio. We highly recommend Kintsugi Beginners Workshop and can’t wait to try Kintsugi at home on the broken china and pottery pieces I’ve been longing to see repaired and back in use. Thank you, Ali-sensei & Hisae.
I enjoyed the beginners class very much, I've now learnt a skill I'm so excited to try at home. Jun San, his wife and brother were accommodating, encouraging, and so kind. It's such a beautiful practice, i would highly recommend the class to anyone.
My husband and I did this class for our 8 year wedding anniversary (ceramics for traditional anniversary gift). We enjoyed learning about the history of the art form and how our teacher learnt the tradition. The lesson was well thought out, engaging and fun. Highly recommend this experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Kingstugi workshop hosted by Jun-San and Hitomi-San who both have a wealth of experience in the area. It was the perfect team activity for us and their expertise and hospitality made the experience enjoyable and memorable. We appreciated their guidance and patience throughout the workshop.
I had so much fun at this workshop! We were guided step by step by our teacher, Hitomi-san, to make some unique accessory pieces. Very relaxed small group atmosphere and extremely well organised session.This is a great gift idea! I got this a birthday present over 18 months ago; yet I was able to register easily for this workshop now. Also a great bonding activity for a team!
This is a very professional course that teaches in 'fast-forward' the techniques you need to start practicing a traditional style of Kintsugi. We were so impressed by the kind, supportive and skilled instructor and we have a lot of respect for what this business is achieving in Australia to keep the art form alive. A delightful date. Would recommend to anyone.
I really enjoyed my beginner's Kintsugi Class with Jun and Hitomi. The class was nicely paced and all steps were clearly explained. It was fun to learn this technique and I feel I can know practice on my own at home.
Such a fun activity with really lovely, helpful teachers. I enjoyed learning about the history of Kintsugi and how the principles can be applied to our lives. Thanks so much Jun and Hitomi for a great morning. Highly recommended
I loved this class, the teachers were both excellent, engaging and knowledgeable. I learn some background to Kintsugi as well as fixing my piece of pottery. The materials were clearly well thought out and easy to use. thank you so much.
Beautiful class with excellent guidance, all equipment provided, and a lovely plate to take home at the end to remind us of the art and philosophy of Kintsugi. Thank you Hitomi and Jun!
We did the 2 hour beginners kintsugi workshop. It was the perfect amount of time and a lot of fun. Jun and Hitomi were excellent teachers. Can’t wait to do the full traditional workshop next time they’re in Brisbane.
This class was great. Not only did I get to do my first kintsugi plate but the teachers delivered the instructions along with the history and a dash of beautiful humour. They are are as awesome as the plate I created.
Hitomi and Jun were delightful and the class was very informative, providing all the instructions I need to tackle my own projects. A lovely bonus were the stories about Japanese history and culture and the philosophy of Kintsugi. I highly recommend this class and process.
This was a great way to spend time with friends and family for my birthday weekend. We all had such a fun time, the instructors were excellent and we learnt a new skill that I thought unachievable in only a few hours. I’d recommend this modern kintsugi class for anyone wishing to try their hand at a new twist on an ancient art - and bring your friends!
This was a lovely and informative class, which respects both history and materials. It was very easy to follow and beautifully hosted by Jun and Hitomi.
I really enjoyed this class. It was well structured and all the materials were supplied. Jun and his wife were excellent instructors and very helpful. The venue (Mercure Hotel, Canberra) was super convenient being quite central and with decent parking. Despite me being a few minutes late and having to leave right on the dot of the official class end-time, Jun made sure I was able to get ahead on my project during the tea break so I could take my beautiful finished plate with me. I've been showing all my friends and am keen to have a go at doing this with some of my own broken crockery. I love the idea of embracing imperfection through this ancient Japanese art form - both beautiful and practical!
Fabulous session - clear instruction with all quality materials provided, and lovely discussion about the origins and meaning of kintsugi. At two hours an excellent short introduction to the practice of kintsugi, with a completed piece by the end of session. Greatly enjoyed this one.
Thank you Miyoko for a very fun and informative beginners class! We really enjoyed the workshop, getting to learn a bit about Kintsugi history and the personalised guidance throughout the class.
Ju-San and Hitomi-San were wonderful teachers of this art. Learning about the history and Ju-san’s journey to Kintsugi were fascinating. The class was full, yet they maintained a calm and peaceful atmosphere, whilst ensuring everyone completed each step well and kept to timings. Excellent teachers. I was very happy with my completed work, and so grateful to Ju-san and Hitomi-san sharing this wonderful skill. Arigato gozaimasu!
