The workshop was a great introduction to the technique of kintsugi, and was a warm and encouraging place to experiment with it. Particularly enjoyed the context and the information on its cultural history too! Would definitely recommend to anyone who feels called to tap into this absorbing and insightful practice

Had this as a gift for my birthday, had to book a few months in advance, but no problems booking it and direction instructions were easy to follow. The teacher was lovely, very friendly and very informative and helpful. Had a great time but you have to have patience, waiting for the glue to set! but overall a really great experience and will definitely try it a home.

Very enjoyable class with a very helpful and encouraging teacher! Lots of fun, quite messy and patience needed. Pretty pot to take home which is easy to finish at home if needed.

True test of patience. Excellent teaching and support throughout this very tricky process. A variety of dishes were supplied which we first smashed then puzzled the pieces back together. Holding each joint together for at least five minutes without destroying the other joints was the most trickiest part. A true test of patience. This is not a relaxing activity. It’s challenging and very rewarding
