This is a fun activity in Clapham, London

Discover the beauty of imperfection in this hands-on Kintsugi workshop in London at Art4Space, where broken pottery is transformed into something even more meaningful. Guided by experienced teachers, you’ll learn the traditional Japanese art of repairing with gold and leave with symbolic pieces to treasure.

This class is perfect for all experience levels. You’ll be supported every step of the way as you explore the philosophy of wabi-sabi and create up to two repaired bowls using Japanese gold mica powder.

- Repair up to two traditional Japanese bowls.
- Option to bring your own crockery or choose from a vintage collection!

“Overrated and not worth the price. There were too many people in the class, making it difficult for just two instructors to manage everyone properly, especially for an activity that requires focus and attention to detail. The mugs were dirty, and the drinks were of poor quality. The matcha that was advertised as part of the offer was not provided either. I expected a nice, calm and mindful Sunday morning, but unfortunately, the experience was nothing like that. The teacher was not bad, but he spent a lot of time talking about unnecessary things instead of focusing on helping and guiding the class. Overall, it was far too expensive for what was offered, and I don't feel it provided good value for money.”

“The class was great - both teachers have a lovely, compassionate and open minded manner and are obviously very skilled in their craft, but it’s the general vibe of the class that I liked above anything else. What a relaxing, creative space! We made a couple of pieces from the selection of the ceramics that was included, had some drinks and snacks in the meantime. It’s a great class to come to both with a friend or alone, either way you’ll enjoy.”

“The class was amazing! We arrived a little earlier and was made to feel welcome in a cozy art centre vibe kinda place. The teacher was very knowledgeable and even though they were not Japanese, really made an effort to bring background and history. Snacks and drinks were available, and safety equipment was provided. Strongly recommend!”
