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.

Really enjoyed this class, I highly recommend it! Fiona was a great teacher, clear and knowledgeable but also calm, friendly and made it fun. The studio is clearly a very creative space with a nice vibe. Happy with the two pots I made and took home, thank you Fiona for the help and patience!

The workshop was fine, but really need to do something about heating the work area. Working in heavy costs is pretty messy..

I took my sister-in-law for her birthday as she loves pottery but had never tried Kintsugi. It was a great class - clear instructions, really helpful support and fun!

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.
