This is a fun activity in Stoke Newington, London

Discover the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi by repairing a handmade ceramic pot created by one of our studio potters. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn traditional-inspired repair techniques and leave with your own unique piece to take home.

Guided by our experienced ceramicists, you'll restore a broken pot using the principles of Kintsugi, celebrating cracks and imperfections rather than hiding them. No previous experience is required, making this a relaxing and rewarding introduction to this timeless craft.

About Kintsugi
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, meaning "golden joinery") is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by highlighting rather than concealing the cracks. Traditionally, broken pieces are rejoined using lacquer mixed or dusted with precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum.

Beyond its technique, Kintsugi embraces the Japanese philosophy of **wabi-sabi**—finding beauty in imperfection—and reflects the idea that damage and repair become part of an object's history rather than something to hide.


Important Information
- Repaired pieces created during this workshop are not food safe and should be used for decorative purposes only.

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!

A great way to celebrate our friend's birthday. Teacher was excellent, didn't overload us with too much info in one go, was encouraging and helpful and interesting. Pleased with my bowl, wish I'd had time to do a second but hopefully I'll do it again.

Amazing class led by Nam, really loved the vibe of the studio and enjoyed learning about the history and meaning of Kitsugi. Highly recommend this experience! You get to break and restore a beautiful pot of your choice (or pots if you have time) in a relaxed environment.
