I took my Son with me to class to be able to learn together a skill . John was really welcoming alongside with his assistant Beth. He went through health and safety first. Then gave us a run through equipment and explained. clearly how we were going to progress. John made it fun and was there to help alongside Beth the whole time . We both came away with a bowl and a new skill. There were refreshments provided and also the opportunity to to buy kits etc . Thank you John &Beth for a lovely evening and a great skill we now have to work on. Would highly recommend recommend.

Thoroughly entertaining afternoon learning Kintsugi in a really fun and supportive environment. The teacher, John and his assistant were both excellent and really helped everyone, including on a one to one basis where required. I was really pleased with my first effort!

This class was such a wonderful experience! The instructors were very professional — after explaining everything clearly to the group,they took the time to check in with each of us and gave kind, detailed guidance. I absolutely love the two plates I was able to finish. I’ll definitely be back again. Thank you so much!
