This is a fun activity in Stoke Newington. , London

This exclusive class in London offers a unique opportunity to repair your pots handmade by our studio’s skilled potters and take home your own one-of-a-kind piece! Guided by experienced ceramists, you'll receive instructions to restore your chosen pot, resulting in a truly remarkable creation.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum; the method is similar to the maki-e technique.

As a philosophy, kintsugi is similar to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, embracing the flawed or imperfect. Kintsugi can relate to the Japanese philosophy of mushin (無心, "no mind"), which encompasses the concepts of non-attachment, acceptance of change, and fate as aspects of human life.

Immerse yourself in a beautiful Japanese method with this kintsugi class in London.

Great introduction to fixing a ceramic piece with gold and glue! You could bring a broken piece to mend but I didn't have one so I was given a choice of ceramic bowls to pick one to smash with a hammer. Teacher was good, I had fun and I kept the piece.

An amazing class! We were given all the tools and the knowledge, so that we could actually do what we needed to do, with and eye towards being able to do it at home again if we wanted to also. The place is incredible, it felt like entering a little town workshop. Nam, our teacher, was super attentive and on it at all times

Thank you Nam and the Cernamic team for such a unique and fun experience to celebrate our friend's birthday!! We had such a memorable time together and I loved how you weaved in elements of Kintsugi theory throughout the process. Nam was incredibly thoughtful and patient with our group which made for a super enjoyable experience, one to try if you've never done Kintsugi before!!

Had a wonderful time with Nam at the Kintsugi class. Nam carefully and clearly explained the Kintsugi process and we throughly enjoyed creating our beautiful pieces. A great activity for a Friday night! Thank you Nam we will be back!

The class was really enjoyable, the teacher was friendly and engaging and seemed to have a decent depth of knowledge on Kintsugi. It was a relatively small group and everyone was very friendly and encouraging. I would thoroughly recommend it!
