Reviews
I see that Michiko's Kintsugi workshop doesn't have many reviews on this platform but do not be put off! Just be an early sdopter! My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Michiko and we highly recommend it for those who want an authentic and fascinating introduction to this very Japanese art. We found the studio easily and from the moment we were greeted to our departure we were both engaged and relaxed. Our small group of four sat around a table and were carefully guided by Michiko and looked after by her assistant. A wonderful experience even for those (like me) who haven't done any handwork for years. No pressure, simply a fun and interesting activity and you get towalk out the door with a beautifully presented kintsugi piece that you created yourself.
We had the best time from the moment we walked in the door. Myself and my wife felt very welcomed and we enjoyed every moment of the whole experience. Clear English spoken and a very experienced host. 10 out of 10
