Kintsugi

Yoshiichiro san and Yoshiko san were such lovely people. Clearly very passionate about their craft, they taught us the art of Kintsugi with a step by step process. They even told us where to purchase the equipment oursel... moreves if we wanted to do this at home, which we did.

I appreciated how kind and patient they were, the 2 hour class flew by so quickly, we had so much fun!

Absolutely loved this experience and highly recommend this class.

Big thanks to Yoshikoさん who took the time to teach the technique of Kintsugi, but not only this, also the philosophy and the history way. Very great workshop while doing it and having tea and cake !
I recommend it at 2... more00%/100 !

This experience was so enjoyable! Yoshiko and Yochiichiro were so kind and patient with us beginners. Not only learning about the craft but the history of it as well. They talked us through the entire process and helped ... moreus along the way.
This is an unmissable experience!

excellent accompanying documentation - just need to work out how I can acquire/source cashew tree lacquer back home :-)

attention to detail re: packaging ... morefor travel home

This experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Delicious treats and all our supplies were laid out in the small studio. We were warmly welcomed, received interesting historic perspective, and coached on... more all the steps in a simple repair process. Our hosts thought of everything, shared lots of media coverage about their work, gave clear instructions, helpful samples, and demonstrations. I was able to repair a beloved piece (pre-approved by photo and email) and also purchased some antique (not broken) pieces. Brilliant set up for travelling home without marring the piece!

Lovely people, wonderful skills, a genuinely old-world Japanese experience. I can’t recommend the Kintsugi experience highly enough!
