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.

Wonderful class! Very well organized and run, great instruction, and we ended up with a lovely kintsugi product at the end. It encourages my partner and I to want to do more classes at this studio.

Enjoyable and fun class. Plenty of interaction with the teachers who were informative and very clear in their explanations. Time enough to complete our kintsugi projects. Something than anyone would enjoy doing and not difficult. Plus there were refreshments. Recommended

We booked the Kintsugi workshop as a team building/bonding activity, and it was perfect. John, our guide and instructor, was very patient, helped everyone individually if needed, answered all our questions, and made us super welcome. The whole experience was wonderful, and we all got to go home with our own creations. Would 100% recommend it!

Brilliant experience! Great atmosphere. Easy to follow steps with support if you needed it. Kind, friendly teachers. Our pottery looks pretty. Drinks were available. Aspects to improve: - I would have played Japanese music in the background to improve the vibes. - I would have liked if the teachers had asked you before removing the materials from the table as a couple of times I had not yet finished and I needed them. I did not realise they were taking them away as I was focused on my work! - It was a bit difficult to see sometimes the steps the teacher was showing us from our seats. - The DIY kit we took home does not include the gold paint you need and we did not know. - I would have liked a bit more time for the finishing touches. Most of us only had time for one piece of pottery. Give it a go! It was a mindfulness experience. Thank you!

It was so lovely! However the last half about felt quite rushed, perhaps I’d have liked focusing on just one piece and including more mindfulness to it.
