What To Expect
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique for restoring broken pottery using gold and silver colors. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to revive broken pottery and turn it into a one-of-a-kind treasure. No experience is necessary, and a friendly instructor will guide you step by step. You will take home a beautifully renewed piece of work that you have made yourself. This class incorporates traditional Kintsugi techniques but is a shortened version that anyone can easily enjoy. You will have the unique experience of breathing new life into a broken piece of pottery. However, since the work created in this experience is a simplified version, it cannot be used for eating or drinking, but it is perfect as interior art that you can enjoy as a decoration or an accessory tray. The pottery that you restored and designed yourself will become a special one-of-a-kind item, and by displaying it in your home or office, it will become a wonderful art piece that will decorate your space! Mindfulness By immersing yourself in the process of Kintsugi, you can calm your mind and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

5.00Such a great activity to get hands on with some culture and art. I loved doing this with my 11 and 14 year old boys. Our host made it easy and approachable with a beautiful product to take home.

5.00This was such a special experience and will be one of the most memorable things I've done while living in Japan. The instructors were incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They walked me through each step of the Kintsugi process in a clear and easy-to-understand way, making it accessible even for beginners. I also appreciated the bit of history they shared about the art of Kintsugi—it added a deeper meaning to the process and made it feel even more special. By the end of the session, I left with a beautiful, personalized piece that I’ll treasure as a reminder of this unique experience. If you're looking to do something truly Japanese and hands-on, I highly recommend this!
A must must thing to do

5.00Super interesting not something I would have thought off as a learning skill. So enjoyable with very patience and informative staff. We loved our end result as we did it 🙂. Worth every penny and we highly recommend it as it completely different for the usual shopping shopping of other tours. George and Leonarda

5.00I booked this in Tokyo, but I got lost in the subway system. I was glad to find it here in Okinawa. My teacher had the best English of any guides I have encountered on Viator. Don’t miss this wonderful experience. I will now be able to fix my ex-girlfriend’s pottery.
