Okinawa, Naha: Experiência de conserto com ouro (kintsugi) para desfrutar em pouco tempo

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed Mayo's workshop. Everything was provided, so there was nothing to prepare – we just walked in. There was a selection of broken plates, and we all chose something we liked. Mayo was very patient and instructed each of us individually. She also helped us with our work whenever we got stuck. We even got to choose between gold or silver for the mending. After the workshop, Mayo offered us caffeine-free tea and delicious shortbreads while she assisted with some final adjustments (or, saving them). We all had varying levels of artistic skill, from those who failed art in school to professionals, but in the end, we all got to take home a cute little plate. We absolutely recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to experience it.

とても良い経験でした。先生はとても親切で、英語も堪能で、金継ぎの歴史についても説明してくれました。場所も分かりやすく、作業も簡単で、始めるのに良いレッスンでした。

Mayo was lovely and a great teacher! We loved the pieces we got to 'fix' and there were some other beautiful items you can buy whilst there. It was a really nice touch to have the tea and Okinawan cookies whilst waiting for the pieces to set. Thanks again :) Would definitely recommend!

The workshop slows down the desire to see as much as possible amidst all the hustle and bustle. The two course instructors are very caring, and the bowls simply look beautiful.

This was a wonderful experience with beautiful souvenirs to boot. The instructors were generous with their time and explanations and my daughters and I had a great time.

Wir haben ein paar süße kleine Teller gebastelt und hatten eine schöne Zeit mit Mayo und ihrer Kollegin. Es ist vielleicht wichtig zu wissen, dass diese Technik nicht für Speisen und Getränke geeignet ist, da es sich nur um Klebstoff und nicht um Harz handelt. Die traditionelle Technik dauert Wochen oder Monate zum Herstellen und Trocknen, nur zur Info :) Trotzdem süß als Dekoration oder zur Aufbewahrung.

I enjoyed what ended up being a one-on-one Kintsugi experience and repaired a small dish of my choosing (from what they had on offer). I learned about the history of the art of Kintsugi while creating my own piece with support from the teacher. While I waited for my piece to dry, I was offered a refreshing tea and Okinawa biscuit. I also purchased a couple of additional pieces the studio had previously made, a couple of pendants, a badge, and a magnet, which will make great gifts. The teacher was very kind and helpful and even called a couple of local restaurants for me to dine in after the class; she made a great recommendation.

Kintsugi class was fun and educational! The staff was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. The studio was easy to find and very pretty. A bonus is that you get to take home your piece of art! Definitely recommend!

An incredible experience to be able to do your own Kintsugi. We were shown through the process and it was very hands on so you can really feel proud of making something to take away at the end. Ms Mayo helped at each step and guided us through, as well as some surprise tea and mochi while we waited for our pieces to set! Really unique and fun experience in Naha!

Un estudio pequeño y hermoso con personal muy amable y capacitado. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente.
