“I recently had the pleasure of taking a kintsugi class with my partner, and thanks to our incredible teacher, Master Jun, it was an extraordinary experience.
Master Jun's presence was both calming and inspiring; it was evident he is truly a master of his craft. His deep passion for kintsugi shone through in his patient and precise guidance throughout the class. He made sure to engage with every student, offering individualised support when needed, and he welcomed questions with enthusiasm. His knowledge of kintsugi was truly impressive, and he shared not only the technical aspects of the art but also its rich history and cultural significance.
The philosophical dimension that Master Jun brought to the class was a truly enlightening and enriching aspect of the experience. It reminded us that kintsugi is not just a craft; it's a way of life, encouraging us to appreciate the journey of healing and transformation. His wisdom and thoughtful discussions added a unique and unforgettable layer to an already outstanding class. In terms of value for money, I would say the experience was well worth the investment, as it is something we will carry with us for a lifetime.
What I liked most about the class was the profound sense of mindfulness it brought. Kintsugi is not just about repairing broken objects; it's about embracing imperfections and celebrating the beauty of resilience. Master Jun's teaching style and the art itself encouraged us to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and find beauty in the flaws and fractures of life. It was a truly transformative experience, both artistically and spiritually.”
“This workshop is BRILLIANT! I felt very welcome and received excellent guidance in this art, including the cultural and historical background that makes it meaningful. It was a good intro and has inspired me to try this art myself at home.”
“Kintsugi is a beautiful art form steeped in rich history. I thoroughly recommend this class if you're looking for a fun and informative activity. Convenient Sydney location. The 2 hours flew by! Big shout to Miyoko for a great day.”
“We had a great time! Noriko-san was an awesome teacher. We learned lots about the history of kintsugi, Japan and left with skills to repair pottery beautifully, as well as a lovely plate to remember our time. Thanks!”
