“Our teacher, Hitami, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and linked Japanese history, culture and language to the techniques and the process. Having traveled to Japan, she connected it to our experiences and to personal healing journeys. I cannot recommend enough!”
“Our teacher was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and great explaining how to complete the work. Everything was provided and we got our beautiful plate to take home.”
“The class was intimate and the attention from Sensei Hitomi was warm, caring and personal. I loved every moment of this workshop and look forward to coming back to more workshops with this dojo.”
“Kintsugi - the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold, and a metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections.
I soaked up the experience of artfully mending something broken into something beautiful (and useful). Using gold was almost a celebration of the 'healing' and I loved every step of the process and the result. The class had a friendly feel and kind teacher and at no stage did we feel lost or unsure. Well worth the time and money.”
“My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our class this morning with Jun. He was delightful and engaging. We can't wait to share what we learned about kintsugi when we get home.”
“I had such a great time! I found the teacher to be patient and encouraging throughout the lesson. He was not only very knowledgeable, but very good at describing what we needed to do. I would also say, there are lot of classes where you can learn this skill, but to be able to learn from someone who trained in Japan and taught it the authentic way (not the short-cut method) was really really wonderful.”
“Very instructive class in the ancient art of kintsugi in a friendly, professional environment. Small classes perfect for couples or families with teenagers. Everything was provided, so just show up :-)”
