We have just had the best workshop with John. He was so enthusiastic and patient with all of our questions. We had enough time to learn the basics of kintsugi and produce a lovely piece of art. We liked it so much that we are getting together next weekend to finish our second pieces. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.

Kim was a wonderful teacher. She made us feel comfortable from the start and the light snacks and drinks provided were a wonderful touch. We liked the mix of talking to give history on the art form as well as the quiet and calm to allow us to create. It was incredibly relaxing and enjoyed by everyone! Thank you for helping to make my birthday celebration so special!

John and Natti were so welcoming, informative and attentive. I left the class feeling very mellow and relaxed after a long, tiring week and I'm so glad I now know how to fix all my broken crockery with such a beautiful and meaningful technique! Would thoroughly recommend this class.

Our group of 6 really enjoyed the private Kitsugi class. Top score for quick confirmation that they could do the date we asked for; a warm welcome from our tutor John, who was really friendly, knowledgable and very patient; tea, coffee and wine were offered and all materials provided; easy clear instructions meant we all went home with a piece of art we were proud of.
