“We did a Kintsugi workshop with Yoko Kawada, and it was honestly wonderful. Yoko is not only incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Kintsugi, but she’s also one of the warmest, most welcoming people you’ll ever meet.
From the moment we walked in, she made us feel completely at home — offering tea, chatting with everyone, and creating such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. She explained everything so clearly and patiently, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. Her passion is infectious.
The whole experience felt zen, creative, and genuinely special. We walked away not just with beautiful pieces, but with a real appreciation for the meaning behind Kintsugi. We’d highly recommend her workshop to anyone — you’ll learn so much and feel totally taken care of the entire time.”
“Yoko thought of everything! There were lots of little touches that just made everything flow better. She covered a lot about technique and history while we were working too, so it felt like a very comprehensive introduction. A fantastic way to spend the day!”
“Yoko was a fanastic teacher! Not only was she well prepared for dealing with different levels of expertice, but creatrively, wove in the history of kintsugi while guiding us through the steps in using this 500 year old craft. Well done!”
