Amanda is a lovely girl and she provided everything needed to complete the project. We had a choice of pottery, and after breaking it, proceeded to learn the art of putting it back together, using epoxy and gold dust. I was pleased with the outcome and will use my piece as a saucer for a plant pot. Very enjoyable course lasting around 2 hours.

Amanda was a great teacher! Would happily recommend her :). If you are bringing your own piece definitely do a practice first!

A very pleasant class in the secret corner of the Trinity Buoy Wharf. The teacher is very clear in her instructions and very nice to work with. Her workshop is also very welcoming. For me, it was great introduction into Kintsugi and opened my eyes to this patient japanese art.

Really great class, Amanda knew when to lean in and when to be more hands off. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, forcing you to slow down and really focus on your craft. Mine was by no means perfect, but definitely inspired me to want to try it again, and she gave us all the information needed to go Kintsugi on our own which was really handy.

I hugely enjoyed fixing my favourite (but broken) bowl by learning about Kintsugi. Amanda was a brilliant, patient teacher - very generous with her time and materials. I was very pleased with the end result. Perfectly imperfect - a very enjoyable afternoon.

The overall experience was enjoyable, and all the necessary tools were provided. However, clearer guidance on how much glue to apply would have been helpful, as it was difficult to achieve a neat, even line. The allotted time was just enough for two pieces, but it felt a bit rushed—we had to work quickly rather than carefully. The selection of ceramics was also somewhat limited, with several duplicates of the same bowl. I’d definitely like to try kintsugi again, but perhaps with a different instructor. For me, this practice should feel calm and meditative rather than hurried.

I bought this as a 60th Birthday gift for hubby as an interesting way to relax after 2 hectic days in London. We both absolutely loved it! Rose was a very patient teacher and we came away with a piece each which has inspired us to do more. Great location, friendly and helpful advice and lots of fun. Highly recommended.
