    We really loved this workshop. The teacher was very helpful and encouraging and our Kintsugi pieces came out beautifully. We loved learning a bit about Japanese culture and Wabi-sabi.

    If you show up just before class is to begin,expect a dismissive attitude from instructor. If not for his assistant,we would have left upon arrival. Difficult to find location.we showed up 6 minutes before class to be given and were never acknowledged by instructor.would not recommend this to anyone due to this.

    Absolutely loved this experience! Fun, friendly, easy to follow and quite meditative. My husband and I always try to book a creative workshop whenever we travel. Kintsugi is a beautiful art form and philosophy and is certainly something each one of us could take away from ❤️ book it, you won’t regret it! And the best part, you get to keep your creation, which makes the most perfect little souvenir!!!
