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.

**What to expect:**
- Learn the history and philosophy behind Kintsugi.
- Repair up to two traditional Japanese bowls.
- Option to bring your own crockery or choose from a vintage collection!
- All materials provided, including gold mica powder.

Our teacher John was really relaxed, patient, fun and an excellent communicator. He took the time to explain the history and concept of Kintsugi before we started breaking pots and was there every step of the way to offer advice and encouragement. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any other groups think about having class

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.
