  • 5/5 from Karen Curley, attended Jul 2026: Organised a private class here in Canberra, All went smoothly in the co-ordination of the event. Yoko is delightful, Yoko was very friendly full of information and delivered the instructions clearly. The history of Kintsugi was very informative and as they say never too old to learn something new. Everyone enjoyed themselves. My sister is now looking to see what else she can break to 'Kintsugi" it back to life :). Thankyou Yoko and everyone who attended made the class even more enjoyable.

  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: The kintsugi workshop was great fun and no former experience was necessary. Yoko was very knowledgeable and taught us about kintsugi as well as how to do it in a clear, easy to follow way. Give it a go!
  • 5/5 from Lynne Bruce, attended Nov 2024: The Art Kintsugi workshop was excellent. Each step in the process was explained very well and I really appreciated the additional information on its history and philosophy. Yoko the teacher was extremely knowledgeable and organised. You could see that she had gone to a lot of trouble to set up the course. Loved everything about the course. Would definitely recommend this workshop to others. The Gang Gang Gallery at Lithgow is an excellent venue for small to medium sized workshops.
  • 5/5 from Prue Bindon, attended Dec 2023: Yoko was amazing, so knowledgeable and yet relaxed and patient with us. We loved the day.
  • 5/5 from Tania Carmichael, attended Jul 2023: Yoko was the most accomodating, organised and generous hostess. She gave a detailed explanation of the workshop and guided us carefully through every step of the process. I was very happy with the result and even purchased one of her kits to take home. The four hours went by so fast!
  • 5/5 from G Conduit, attended Aug 2022: Yoko was a great teacher and a very interesting and friendly person to spend 4 hours with. We learnt a lot and had a lot of fun! Thanks
  • 5/5 from Liz Ruck, attended Aug 2022: Yoko was such a knowledgeable teacher and made the subject matter easy to learn. She is also great fun to learn from. All the materials were carefully provided by Yoko, who anticipated every student need. I did the course with some friends and it was such a lovely way to spend the afternoon with good people, laughing and learning this beautiful art. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Kylie Munns, attended Aug 2022: Yoko came to my house and ran a workshop for my birthday for a small group of friends. I can not recommend Yoko and this experience highly enough. Yoko is very responsive and professional in organising and running class. She shares her excellent expertise, love and passion she clearly has for this art. We all came away with good understanding of Kintsugi, great memories and a small memento of this experience. Thanks Yoko!
  • 5/5 from Annie Hu, attended Feb 2021: Yoko was a fantastic teacher and we all thoroughly enjoyed her Kintsugi mending workshop. Yoko was very patient and walked us through each step of the Kintsugi process and provided interesting historical facts about the art. All materials were very high quality and Yoko was incredibly thoughtful to provide all necessary materials including gloves and masks. We were also very satisfied with the option to have the workshop at our own venue of choice. Thank you so much Yoko for an amazing experience and we are very excited to see our final product!
