We participated in this activity as a couple. Neither of us is very artistic and we haven’t worked with pottery or ceramics before. This class was suitable for all levels. They explained everything really well and gave assistance when required. We have a handmade souvenir to remind us of our trip to Tokyo.

This was such a unique and fun experience to participate in! You are taught so much about the history of kintsugi from a very knowledgeable instructor. At the end of the experience, you get to take home your beautiful plate which is a one of a kind souvenir. They provide a sturdy box and packing peanuts to help you get your plate home safe. A wonderful experience overall!

We were honored to be students of Taku Nakano for a few hours as we learned about the philosophy behind and the technique of kintsugi. He was patient, kind, and his words were so moving that there were moments that we were in tears because it was such a powerful message. We left with beautiful art and even more beautiful memories of the experience.

This is a great experience that gives you a glimpse into the art of kintsugi. It’s fast, so you learn about the origin, the Kinstugi Master Taku, and then get to work. You’ll leave with a little dish that’s protected in a box for your journey home. Very fun and engaging.
