“My partner and I had a really great time at the kintsugi workshop. The teachers were very clear in their description of the various steps and processes, patient in their demeanor working with new or generally uncrafty folks (most people, myself included). Had no trouble following their guidelines. They talked about the craft and went on to discuss some of the possible connections between the art and life. The class was not a very participatory one, but I think with the right audience their prompts would really get people talking and connecting. The gift card experience was easy and frictionless.”
“Fun, informative. Enjoyed learning about the technique used in Kintsugi as I have 2 old Japanese pieces that have been repaired in this method.
Tip - remove all adhesive from labels on cups before starting process. I used Goo-off when I got home but it would have been better to remove at the beginning.”
“It was a good class and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I like my lovely Kintsugi bowl. But if you are looking to get some kind of deeper understanding about Kintsugi and Wabi Sabi and how this is a deeper meditation, the class my not be for you. The instructor gave sort of a rambling explaination. I may have had "expectations". So, I guess, in that way, it DID teach me something. Expectations are sooo not Wabi Sabi. :)”
“Ming and Riley are very geniune and helpful. They make an effort to make everyone feel welcome. I enjoyed the class very much, especially the introduction of some of the concepts of Wabi Sabi. Although kintsugi is a lifelong practice, we got a tiny glimpse of it with a unique approach created by Riley.”
“Fantastic class. Our teacher did a wonderful job bringing our class together. It felt like we were all rooting for each other at each step of the way. He demonstrated the process clearly and gave us plenty of time to work on our pieces. Would highly recommend!”
