Learn Kintsugi
We talk about the history and the philosophy of Kintsugi before we get started. Then, you'll learn how to mend broken pottery using gold mica powder and epoxy.
Your Creation, Brand New and Gold
After mending and repairing, you can show off your new and improved ceramic pieces with the iconic gold seams.
Spend your day at Be-Ras Creatives Art Cafe and discover the art of Kintsugi!Modern Kintsugi is the art of Japanese pottery restoration, where you can learn how to mend broken ceramics using epoxy glue and mica gold powder. The traditional technique used gold powder and lacquer to mend the pottery. In just two and a half hours, you'll understand the difference between the traditional and modern Kintsugi technique, the history and philosophy of Kintsugi, and follow a step-by-step guide to create your own masterpiece. During the workshop, we'll introduce you to the history of Kintsugi, where breakage and repair are regarded as integral parts of an object's story, rather than flaws to conceal. Under our guidance, you'll learn the contemporary approach to Kintsugi using epoxy adhesive and mica powder—a less allergenic, fast-drying, and cost-effective alternative to precious metals and lacquer. In a world of disposables, join us in embracing sustainability and creativity while learning a new skill. Restore cherished objects with gold joinery and take home a piece of art that embodies resilience and beauty.Important info:
Please note, private booking requires a minimum of 10 people per session. If fewer than 10 people book, we will make it a public class for others to join. Please mention it during the booking if you are requesting a private class during your booking or we will treat it as a regular booking.
Not recommended for pregnant participants due to the use of epoxy glue and mica gold dust.
This workshop is suitable for adults, and participants aged 12 and above can join with an adult. An adult needs to be present and accompany the kids during the workshop due to the use of broken crockery pieces.
Plates for repair will be provided during the session.
Please keep in mind that modern kintsugi is not food-safe due to the use of epoxy adhesive, so not suitable for the repair of cooking or eating utensils
Please allow some extra time after the class in case you want your bowl to set properly. Please keep in mind that Kintsugi is about patience, and it takes time for the epoxy to set. The bowl will set completely in 24 hours.

5/5 from Vivian Dang, attended Oct 2026: We absolutely loved this workshop! Rashmi is very knowledgeable, engaging and generous with her time. We felt very comfortable to experiment with her guidance and are very happy with our final product. Highly recommend this workshop for anyone who is curious about the art and philosophy of kintsugi.
5/5 from Hayden Coppo, attended Oct 2026: Fantastic class, had great fun and everyone was awesome. Makes a very nice coffe too 10/10 :P
5/5 from Luke Martin, attended Sep 2026: What a fantastic workshop with Rashmi with an almost a meditative vibe, allowing time to connect with the piece, the process, the art and yourself. Fantastic to learn about the history and cultural context of this beautiful art form, and to walk away with something so special and unique. Absolutely recommend!
5/5 from Irene O’Neill, attended Sep 2026: We had a great time at this fun workshop. Rashmi was very knowledgeable about the history of kintsugi and gave plenty of helpful guidance during the process.
5/5 from Marcin Smalec, attended Sep 2026: Teacher was great and class was great fun - thank you for having us!
5/5 from Jesse Rosenfeld, attended Sep 2026: Rashi was an amazing teacher. So informative about the art form the history and gave the class so much meaning. She held the space so wonderfully. I went with my 7 and 9 year old children and Rashi was able to facilitate the class for the grown ups and them. Wonderful afternoon!
5/5 from Denny Barr, attended Sep 2026: Such a beautiful experience for my daughter and me. Rushmi was so warm and welcoming and made us feel really special from the moment we arrived. She was patient, supportive, generous and very easygoing — nothing was ever too much trouble. We loved learning about the history and philosophy of Kintsugi and, especially, how it can relate to our own lives. It made creating our pieces feel so much more meaningful. The whole experience felt relaxed, authentic and quite holistic, in a beautiful environment,. Rushmi is clearly passionate about what she does and genuinely cared that we had a lovely experience. And we were so happy with our finished pieces! A really special mother-and-daughter afternoon that we’ll remember. ️
5/5 from Leo Nazarov, attended Sep 2026: The gift card redemption was completely seamless - no issues at all, and a lovely birthday present to use. The studio itself was easy to find, and the class exceeded what I expected from a birthday treat. Our teacher was warm and easy to listen to, and struck the right balance throughout - giving us space to work through the technique on our own, but always close by when a piece needed an extra hand or a question came up. What I didn't expect was how much the process itself would stay with me. There's a moment early on where you glue your first two broken pieces back together, and something about doing that - carefully, deliberately, watching a gold seam form where the break used to be - caught me off guard. The last few years of my life haven't been simple, and holding those two pieces together, watching the crack turn into something gold rather than something hidden, felt like more than a craft technique. It felt like a pretty accurate description of what putting yourself back together actually looks like. I left with a finished piece, but also with a slightly different way of thinking about breakage - that it doesn't have to be disguised to be beautiful, sometimes it's the thing worth showing. A wonderful class, and a genuinely thoughtful gift to receive.
5/5 from Jane Ferris, attended Sep 2026: My husband and I attended a Kintsugi class at Be Ras to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The class was thoroughly enjoyable and the instructor very knowledgeable and we came away with some unique and meaningful pieces. We look forward to attending classes in other art forms they offer in the near future. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Ashley King, attended Sep 2026: Really fun and unique experience. I enjoyed learning a bit about Kintusgi and being able to have a nice piece to take home as well.

5/5 from Lucy Hatton, attended May 2026: Really enjoyed the Modern Kintsugi Workshop for Beginners. It was informative, calming and surprisingly therapeutic. A great way to slow down and focus on the process rather than perfection. The instructor was knowledgeable and explained the history and techniques really well. A couple of small improvements would be encouraging short stretch breaks during the session, and reducing a little of the talk at the beginning so there’s more hands-on time earlier. Overall though, it was a lovely experience and I’d definitely recommend it.
5/5 from Katie Robinson, attended May 2026: Rashmi was absolutely amazing, she took the time and care to properly teach us the art of Kintsugi and the history of it. The space was so incredibly peaceful, and we felt no rush whatsoever to finish our products. We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much Rashmi! We can’t wait to come back again once we are married!
5/5 from Leonie Angelis, attended May 2026: I brought a friend to the Kintsugi class for her birthday. We both enjoyed the explanation of the history of Kintsugi, and the actual creating was wonderful. This would also be a great 'team building' activity! Thank you for the lovely experience.

Rashmi is an architect turned crafter and small business owner with a vibrant cafe in the Docklands. She is someone who loves art and learning something new every day. Her journey to becoming an artist started with one art project at a time. She started making Kokedama’s and polymer clay earrings for a bit of fun. She loved it so much that she gifted a lot to her friends and which birthed her enthusiasm for handmade things. Soon they started making them together, and they all loved them so much that we decided to share the art with more people. Creating something handmade is a fun process with lots of laughter and good coffee. You make new friends who love plants and art as much as you do.
