About this workshop

Turn a broken ceramic piece into golden-seamed art in a relaxed, social session - drink in hand, no experience needed.

There's a quiet kind of magic in mending something instead of throwing it away. In this Kintsugi session you'll take a broken ceramic piece and rejoin it with shimmering gold, following the Japanese philosophy that celebrates flaws rather than hiding them.

Your instructor walks you through every step, so it stays easy and unhurried even if you've never tried it before. You'll trace the cracks with gold lacquer, shape the lines exactly how you like them, and watch a damaged object become a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

It's a warm, sociable way to slow down - ideal for a date, a catch-up with friends, or a bit of solo creative time. You'll leave with a finished piece and the satisfying reminder that imperfection can be beautiful.

Good to know

What is Kintsugi?

Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics by celebrating, rather than hiding, the repaired cracks. It symbolises resilience, renewal, and finding beauty in imperfection.

What type of ceramics can I choose from?

We offer a collection of more than 50 Japanese-inspired ceramic bowls, allowing you to choose the piece that speaks to you.

What materials do you use?

We use professional-grade epoxy together with premium mineral-based mica powders to create the beautiful metallic finish that defines the Kintsugi technique.

Do I need any previous experience?

Not at all. This workshop is beginner-friendly, and our instructors will guide you through every stage of the repair and finishing process.

Is my repaired piece food-safe?

No. Because we use epoxy as part of the restoration process, your finished piece should be enjoyed as a decorative object rather than used for serving food or drinks.

Can I take my Kintsugi piece home on the same day?

Yes. Your piece will be carefully packaged for you to take home after the workshop, although we recommend handling it gently while the adhesive completes its final cure.
