“Very good Kintsugi class! Attended this as a way to spend a Sunday afternoon with my partner and it was lots of fun. Very great selection of crockery provided which you can break and reassemble on the day. Class was fun and lot of snacks and drinks provided during it.”

“For an absolute beginners course we made amazing progress over 2½ hours. John, our teacher was great and we were delighted to take home our finished pieces. The set up was first class. Teaching was clear and concise. John was always on hand to help out with advice on the trickier aspects. He also managed to keep us fueled with drinks and snacks which were extremely generous in quantity. It has fired our enthusiasm and we can embark on repairing a number of well loved pieces that we have had ticked away in boxes for many years. Well done the Kintsugi Workshop.”

“This was a wonderful activity to bring a new team together! Our teacher was very clear and patient, helping us through each stage and we each ended up with a beautiful bowl. Enjoying a drink and snack while we worked made this a lovely relaxing activity. We were able to take many of the learnings about kintsugi into our strategy day the following morning.”
