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.

I did the experience on my last day in Naha and it was the perfect activity to end my trip. The instructors were warm, welcoming and explained everything in depth from the steps involved to repair my broken bowl to the traditional Kintsugi practice. The process was easy for someone who is completely new to the practice and there’s support throughout if you need help with anything. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in Kintsugi or looking for a relaxing activity during their trip.

This was a great cultural experience. My whole family participated. We are here in the heat of the summer and this was a great activity to do to get out of the hot sun and learn a little more about kintsugi. The ladies were super sweet and we loved taking home our pottery.
Highly recommend

Very relaxing and therapeutic. We really enjoyed a slower paced activity where we learned a lot about the history of lacquer. We were able to pick what we wanted to work on and from there, we went through the process.
