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.
- Enjoy a mindful, creative experience in a welcoming studio.

By the end, you’ll take home golden-seamed pottery and a deeper appreciation for life’s beautiful imperfections.

“It was a good experience. Nelly was a patient teacher. I enjoyed it and would do it again. One tip is to not pick something with a rounded bottom because then its hard to break it, file it and put it back together. It would be good to hear more on the history of the practice perhaps as well. One piece of feedback is to have more bowl types so we can have options where its less thick and curved on the bottom. Recommend this experience.”

“The instructors at the kintsugi workshop were lovely, the evening was laid back but well paced and I managed to complete two pieces! The included drinks and snacks made it feel like a nice treat and well worth the price. It seemed like most people came in pairs whilst I came solo, but I really enjoyed it.”
