“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.”

“Thank you for hosting this class! Absolutely 10/10. The classroom was perfectly set up, we started on time and instructions really clear. Lots of checking in and making sure I did everything correctly or if I needed help. Love my piece that I learnt with first. I was also able to take a massive vase to the class that had been chipped and do some kintsugi on that which I am so stoked about! Thank you thank you thank you :) would highly recommend.”
