This was such a fun, interesting and enjoyable experience! Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were so kind, knowledgeable, helpful. They were very patient as they tried to bridge the language barrier while giving instructions. They had several “cheat sheets” in English to help me understand.
They also were quite hospitable, providing snacks and even taking my photo several times during the repair process. Yoshiko also kindly showed me her ceramics studio, as I had made the piece that I used.
The entire process was easy enough, but patience and care are necessary. They gave me a list of supplies to purchase (and the address of a store so that I could bring those home with me.
Overall, I would highly recommend this experience. It’s a great introduction into the beautiful art of Japanese kintsugi! As an aside, I had mentioned to some of the staff at our hotel that I was taking this class and they scoured the hotel to find some old examples that they had in their possession. When I returned with my piece, the staff were impressed and asked for the contact info so they could recommend the Kuge’s to other hotel guests.

せっかく宮島観光にきたのだから、思い出にのこるお土産がほしいもの。
そんなときに宮島てづくり工房さんでの焼印体験はピッタリです。
所要時間10~15分と観光の時間も邪魔せず、5種類の焼印を好きな場所におすだけで簡単にオリジナルしゃもじが作れます。
ペン型の焼印もあるので、文字を書いたり絵を描いたりできますよ。
焼印はかなりじっくりおさないと跡がつかないので、見本のしゃもじで練習しておきましょう。
お店の場所が神社の手前にあるので、観光し終わってから行くといいかもしれません。
オリジナルなお土産が作ってもらいありがとございます。宮島のしゃもじは幸せを「めし」取ると言われております、お客様に良いことが訪れますように!飾っても使っても思い出になります。

I had such a good time learning kintsugi, I went straight from their workshop to a craft store (with their extremely helpful bilingual shopping list!) to be able to do it more at home. The Kuge-sans were so welcoming and kind. I brought a small bowl that I had recently broken, and they helped me magically put it back together. They also had beautiful tea cups available to repair.The Kuge-sans do a wonderful job of communicating the joy of kintsugi even without too much English. They were prepared with photos and examples to make every step clear. Overall, the experience was peaceful and satisfying, and definitely a lovely way to rest from the hurry and stress of international travel.

予約は14時だったんですが、集合時間が13時だったみたいで全く気付かず申し訳なかったです。予約の際は皆さんご注意を。
体験はお盆明けで、一人参加が他に一人居ただけで空いていたため、丁寧に教えて頂きました。金粉と螺鈿でピカピカに仕上がりました。よりオリジナルが作りたい方は自分で絵を持っていくとイイですよ。ただし細い線や細かい絵は無理です。螺鈿がとても薄くて割れやすいのでそれどころではありません(笑
また金粉を付ける線も細筆とは言え、素人が細く描くのは難しいと思います。
時間とデザインにはゆとりを持って挑戦してみてください。

Arrived 20 min late because we were an hour away and got a little lost, but they didn’t mind.
The workshop is led by an elderly couple who have been doing kintsugi for many years. They were even featured in a few books and magazines!
When we arrived, there was mango Mille crepe cake and apple tea, which were both SO GOOD. It’s summer when we went, so the snack and drink were both so refreshing.
We picked our cups and got right to work. They walked us through the process step by step and gave us a list of the steps and materials to buy at the store if we wanted to do kintsugi on our own at home.
We got to see some of the kintsugi works they fixed, and some were so intricately re-pieced, it blew our minds.
Overall, I had so much fun. The couple is super sweet and take pics of you on their iPad as you’re working and email them to you, since your hands are full.
The next time I go back to japan, I will take their class again, without a doubt. I really do recommend taking this class because it’s such a unique experience that I’ll always remember, along with having a completely uniquely fixed cup .
The picture I attached from the book is the picture of the couple.

スタッフの方がわかりやすく説明してくれて、戸惑う事無くサンゴ染めを楽しめました。色選びや、サンゴの柄、その組み合わせを考えながらの作業は想像力をかきたてられ、進める程にワクワクしました。
小さい子供から大人までどんな方も楽しめると思います。帰ってからもやってみようと思い、海でサンゴを拾ってきたくらいです。

Although we were at the location at the scheduled time, staff ignored us. When we finally asked if the class was going to be held (since it was only the two of us there), we were told that the sandblasting equipment must be prepared and it would take a week. Since we were not going to be in Japan for a week and since the staff seemed reluctant to even explain to us how to do the project, we decided not to participate. To add insult to injury, Veltra refused to refund our fee saying that their web description says that products not available for pickup will be shipped but only in Japan. Our friend signed up for sandblasting with another vendor (Craft Shop Ren) and she came home with her project the same day. We should have signed up with Craft Shop Ren instead of this one.

Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were wonderful hosts! Kintsugi and the philosophy of wabi sabi are very important to my husband and I, so while we were on our honeymoon in Japan we were so excited to take this class.
The Kuge's welcomed us with refreshing apple tea and a fruit / tart dessert and gave us aprons before getting started. They had several cups that we could choose from to repair. The process was relatively quick, with some repetitive sections (filing) and some waiting for our cups to dry before moving on to the next step. Yoshiko had a very good English level, and we appreciated her explanations and perspective.
Their art and ceramic studio have been featured in various guides and magazines. You are in good, expert hands in this class.
We also took their recommendation and ate dinner at Tensuke (tempura restaurant in Koenji) after the class. It was one of our favorite meals of the trip!

Host was very kind and helpful. I was the only one on the day but he was very informative and patient nonetheless. I would be shown each step and left to continue whilst he would check and see my progress. I liked that he gave me space to get on with it, otherwise I would have felt pressured into rushing. When it came to mixing and rinsing the dye, I didn't need to do much but it was interesting to watch him finish the process. The product came out looking lovely and the overall experience was interesting. A good experience whether in a group or solo.

Instructions: 1. choose your glass (straight tumbler, mug with handle, tumbler with pedestal base), 2. Draw your own design on piece of paper or on glass or you can route directly on the glass. 3. Tape your paper to inside of cup. 4. Use battery-operated handpiece with assorted rotating diamond tips to roughen/etch surface of glass. That was it. No other instructions or supervision or even checking on us to see how we were doing or if we were done. When we finally decided that no one was checking on our progress, we had to go up to the lone cashier/staff then she came and boxed up our glasses to take with us.

I would 100% do this activity again as well as any others run by Kuge Crafts. Despite being early I was welcomed in with homemade sweets and tea. I've only booked the session for myself despite travelling with my friend, she said she'd be happy walking around the local area for the 2 hours or so while I was in there, but upon seeing her they welcomed her to stay and offered her the same food and drink with the most wonderfully giving attitudes, genuinely the height of Japanese hospitality.
The method of kinstugi, the pattern on my bowl, and the making of the brushes, epoxies involved were all explained in detail, and as we waited for the putty on my bowl to set, Yoshiko showed my friend and I her other workshop and the pieces of artwork she was most proud of.
Both Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro spoke enough English to have a nice conversation. You really are getting and entire experience as well as just learning a traditional craft. Can't recommend this enough.

This was a wonderful afternoon. Our hosts were very kind and patient teachers. The homemade apple tea was lovely. Loved that we could take home a project. One misunderstanding however: A couple of us brought pieces to work on but they were not appropriate as they were not chipped or cracked. There is not enough time to break and glue a piece during the class. There were a variety of chipped and cracked, (antique!) vessels that we could choose from. During down time, our host showed us pieces she had completed to demonstrate the possibilities for future projects. Loved that she gave us a list of supplies and where to buy them, in Tokyo, if we want to continue. Great event.

The Kintsugi class was everything I had hoped for and more. Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko are probably the sweetest people you will ever meet. When I arrived, they had a delicious snack that Yoshiko had prepared and served me some tea. After a bit of conversation, we started the workshop. They were thorough with the instructions, gave me time to write notes and assisted when necessary. They gave me a tour of the pottery studio next door while I was waiting for my piece to dry. When I finished the workshop they gave me a list of supplies for doing Kintsugi at home and encouraged me to message them if I had any questions. I went to Tokyu Hands the next day, gave them the list and purchased all the supplies needed. I would recommend this workshop to anyone going to Tokyo. I didn't take many pictures because I was charging my phone during the workshop. I will try to upload the finished product after the 2 weeks required for my piece to set. They packaged up my cup nicely for me to travel home with.

My sister, an American basket weaver with a great deal of experience in weaving other materials, and I, a long-term resident of Japan with no previous experience, took the course. We were the only two students that day and both had a great time. The young woman who instructed us was friendly and patient with us, taking us one step at a time through the process of making the rather complex but beautiful Shikainami basket. We both ended up with nice-looking baskets. The instructor cheerfully answered my sister's questions about preparing the bamboo and agreed to prepare 200 strips for my sister to take home with her a week later. All-in-all, a very satisfying experience well worth the price.

although it was taught in Japanese, the instructor provided step by step instructions of what was going to take place. The instructor first showed what to do and then assisted with a practice run. he then stepped back and allowed us to perform the steps entirely on our own. we were blown away with the cups that we made and are extremely happy with the entire experience. we definitely recommend this fun workshop

Cannot recommend this experience enough. Not only were we served delicious tea and cake handmade by Mrs. Kuge, she and her husband were very diligent with their teaching and even showed us where to buy everything we needed to make our own lacquerware at home. Definitely bringing visiting friends and family here again in the future. A little Japanese will go a long way, but not necessary. Mrs. Kuge speaks English well, and her husband is so sweet it doesn’t matter :)

We have never worked on cloth dyeing like this before. The store owners were incredibly friendly and walked us through every step of the process. They were always there to answer questions and provide assistance if we needed it. The entire process was fascinating, making the experience that much more interesting and fun. We highly recommend trying this for yourself if you are ever in Kyoto!
Thank you for the review.
It looks like you were very happy. .
I would also like to visit you when there is an opportunity.

Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko Kuge are an amazing, knowledgeable, jovial, kind, patient, and helpful couple. Husband speaks limited english but the wife speaks decent English for non-Japanese speakers to get by. I truly truly enjoyed the class and getting to know them and the other guest with us that afternoon. They were even kind enough to let me practice my proficient but very rusty Japanese with them :) I learned so much and was completely engrossed in the experience. For this lesson, they taught us how to repair an antique Japanese cup of our choice to bring home or BYOC (bring your own ceramic!). It was an intimate setting and they gave us the knowledge, tips/tricks, and a list of recommended materials we can go out and buy ourselves at a local crafts shop for about ~3000 yen. Home baked sweets, snacks, and iced tea were provided during breaks and it was all so yummy!! I was given a peanut snack and informed them that I was allergic, but no problem! I was immediately given a better snack! Shinsetsu na~! They even took pictures of/for us as we were repairing our ceramics and sent it back to us over email to share with our friends/family! I couldn't be more thrilled about this experience and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Also important to note: they have a cute 19 year-old half-blind cat that may come out from hiding to say hi if you're lucky enough.

Our session was about 1.5 hours and we were given the option to make cup, mug, plate or bowl - 2 pieces in total.
We would have liked to make smaller pieces however we ended up making 2 cups each.
Beautiful and relaxing space and host was delightful - his work is lovely.
If we go back to Kyoto we would love to do this again.

The activity was fun and we enjoyed doing it but I feel it should be renamed.
This activity was more stencilling on a small wall hanging rather than the 'dyeing' we expected. There were many stencils to choose from and we were allowed plenty of time. Demonstrations were good & the explanations clear. This is a good family activity or for someone wanting to do some easy Japanese craftwork. Just be clear- it is using various applications of colour with a stiff brush over stencils that line up to create an overall picture on a small wall hanging.
