Fun Kintsugi classes / courses in Sydney

Kintsugi has been around for centuries and the idea behind this very special artform is awe-inspiring. Kintsugi stems from the belief that our material items shouldn’t be cast away in the unfortunate event that they are broken. Instead, you can take those shattered fragments and put them together again in a way that makes the finished piece even more beautiful than before. Of course, this hobby takes mindfulness and patience, but what you get in return is a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that is unrivalled.  

As this hobby is so detail-oriented, it can be helpful to start out with the help of the best Kintsugi teachers in Sydney. Instead of looking at ceramic repair videos online simply sign up for one of ClassBento’s best Kintsugi classes in Sydney so that you don’t feel like you’re going alone. Kintsugi classes are some of the best indoor activities Sydney has to offer when it comes to tranquillity and meditation. While you might not be tempted to break all of your pottery at home so that you can keep practicing Kintsugi, we can bet that you’ll want to sign up for more of these Sydney workshops in the future.

There are plenty of Kintsugi art classes to choose from so that you never have to move your schedule around or travel out of the way to attend one of these Sydney workshops. If you want to join a beginners Kintsugi class, you'll learn all about the history of Japanese broken pottery art and how to achieve the perfect golden joinery aesthetic. Kintsugi pottery classes are blended with mindfulness so that you feel calm and relaxed while learning Japanese ceramic repair. There are even more modern takes on Kintsugi art such as Kintsugi accessory workshops in which you can make your own Japanese pottery gold earrings. And if you want to repair your own pieces of pottery, you can book a private Japanese ceramic repair workshop.

If you’re looking for fun things to do in Sydney that combine mindfulness and crafting, Kintsugi will not disappoint. These Sydney activities are great for groups, couples and individuals, making them perfect for any upcoming hens parties, birthdays or anniversaries. Kintsugi art is a must do in Sydney for any of your crafty friends, which is why they are one of the most popular experience gifts in Sydney. They’re also great options for things to do in Sydney at night if you’re looking for a workshop to unwind at the end of the workday.

In your Kintsugi class, you’ll be given a broken piece of pottery and all of the supplies you’ll need to put it back together again. Your knowledgeable Kintsugi instructor will teach you how to reconstruct your ceramic item with golden joinery, and you’ll also get a history lesson on this special Japanese art. By the end of your class, you’ll be able to take your piece of Kintsugi pottery home with you to display proudly or give as a unique and thoughtful gift.

Health benefits of Kintsugi

You might expect that a hobby that requires you to reconstruct a piece of broken pottery would be frustrating and difficult. But you’d be amazed that Kintsugi is actually like a wave of relief for your mind and body. When you allow yourself to focus on the task at hand and forget about the worries and responsibilities of the world outside the Kintsugi studio, you’ll find a sense of peace and tranquillity as you create your new beautiful object. Kintsugi also encourages a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the material items in your life, which is a key way to practice minimalism. Overall, you’ll get a glimpse into a lifestyle of mindfulness, gratitude, and tranquillity from your Kintsugi course.

Yoko is such a lovely and friendly instructor. She is also very patient and accomodating when it came to organizing the ideal time for the private class. During the class, she gave a detailed introduction of Kintsugi and even provided us with several treats from Japan. She was guiding us every step of the way and best of all, she didn't rush us throughout the process. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks Yoko!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Yoko, being plied with green tea and learning about the history and traditional techniques of Kintsugi, as well as how to do it with more modern materials.
Yoko explained everything very clearly, so even the least confident of us was able to create a wonderful piece.
The tools and materials provided were excellent and the whole session had been meticulously planned and prepared.
Being in such a small group was great too, a real shared experience.

We had a beginner Kintsugi Workshop with Hitomi today and it was fantastic! She was very kind and knowledgeable, and guided us every step of the way so we’d be able to do Kintsugi at home. I’d love to do this class again. We were given Sencha tea, and Hitomi took photos that she sent to me afterwards. We were also given the gold/brass powder to take home afterwards. Am gifting this workshop to everyone I can

i did a beginner's Kintsugi workshop. It was a very exciting class. Jun is a patient and skilled teacher and I feel that after just one session I have acquired enough basic knowledge to try out the techniques he taught me at home. I am very inspired!

Definitely a great class and a great experience to have.

Jun was both great at teaching the practical skill of Kintsugi, as well as the history and cultural significance of the practice.

All the materials were provided for and were great quality - getting to take home the plate you’ve made is pretty sweet as well.

Overall, a fun and engaging class that I would highly recommend.
