• 5/5 from Dianne Hall, attended Aug 2026: Such a great class - so enjoyable. So NOT the quick YouTube clip superficially presented by someone outside the Japanese culture. Japanese teachers with a deep knowledge & commitment to the long history of Kintsugi but adapted for beginners using materials readily available in Australia. Easy-to-follow instructions, supported by visuals, demonstrations & written instructions with individual hands-on-guidance. Japanese language & symbolism interwoven to give a rich experience - & we walked away with our own kintsugi, encouraged to do more.
