“I absolutely loved the class! Not only do you get a kit to take home, you also learn step by step process on how to bring to life your sentimental pieces… I loved loved loved it and Lynh was an amazing teacher! Highly recommend ❤️”
“The topic and outcomes of the workshop are good, but the format/ structure is a bit more freeform than I'd expected. We were given a brief demo of the steps (about 10min), then the rest of the time was self directed. I'd expected a little more framing about the history and practices, so we could really experience the kintsugi approach. After a while, it felt like I was just glueing a plate together solo, which I could do from home using a YouTube tutorial.
Structuring the workshop to be more of a shared experience would've increased my enjoyment for the price paid.”
“It was a great class! The space was lovely, and the style and content of the session were well-paced. We had so much fun. The technique of Modern Kintsugi is also so practical, and I feel like I can fix those sentimental broken pieces I have and make them even more beautiful! Helena was a great teacher!”
“I have attended 2 beginers Kintsugi classes. The first conducted at Queens road was a 5 star course. The instructor was from Sydney. The class was small (8 people) and the instructor demonstated the true art of Kintsugi from filing, gluing, filling with putty, use of chiseling, taping, and application of multiple fine layers of gold to achieve a professional piece of art that I am proud to display (Picture 1).
The second course was conducted in Collingwood. This course was overcrowded (15 people) and simply demonstrated gluing a broken plate with enough gold coloured glue that it oozed out of the crack. The end result was a 'blobby' uneven repair that appeared to have been done by a kindergarten child and is an insult to this fine art. (picture 2).
I strongly recomend that if you wish to undertake a course in the beutiful art of Kintsugi you enrol in the Class Bento at 1 Queens road and avoid Collingwood which I generously rated a 1/5”
“Class was brilliant and the teacher Helena was the best. She was so thorough in her explanation and super helpful throughout the class. Loved it!! Thank you”
