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

This was a wonderful experience that gave me a chance to salvage a precious gift. A priceless ceramic ornament was pieced back together and I learned about the special technique Kintsugi. I think it’s a beautiful practice to restore art using pretty gold or silver and is symbolic of how broken pieces can be put back together with love! The staff members were very kind and welcoming. The studio was easy to find, with parking on the corner and a comfortable space to work in. There were also some pretty pieces for sale and different options to work on. It was a great experience and a unique opportunity! At the end I was offered tea and a snack which I thought was a kind gesture. I highly recommend!

This was a wonderful activity to do when you need a change from the usual tourist activities, plus a unique memento to take home. It was slow-paced, which is what kintsugi is all about. The ladies helped improve my attempt, and it was a delightful afternoon all around.

This was such a special and meaningful experience! I love the concept of embracing flaws and turning them into beauty, and was excited to find this simplified Kintsugi experience. The ladies were very helpful in taking us through each step, and I went home with a beautiful hand-made work of art. Highly recommend!

This experience was amazing. You had an English-speaking Japanese guide who gave you clear instructions on how to make Kintsugi. At the beginning, you could choose your own small plate or bowl and were shown to your own workstation where you were guided through various steps on what to do, as well as learning how real Kintsugi is done using Urushi tree sap. In short, an amazing and fun experience. Experience: amazing Instructor: Clear and very helpful Location: Easy to find via Google Maps, very spacious studio with good ventilation.

El estudio era encantador. El personal fue amable y servicial, y la experiencia valió la pena. Aprendí mucho sobre Kintsugi y probarlo de primera mano fue realmente entretenido. Poder llevarme mi cerámica reparada a casa también fue un gran recuerdo.

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!

楽しい体験でした！自分で作業をして、インストラクターが必要に応じて問題を確認し、修正してくれました。最後に自分の作品を持ち帰ることができました。数時間余裕があるなら、やる価値はあります。スタジオでかわいい手作りの陶器のイヤリングも買いました。

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。

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.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!!! I really enjoyed myself. I would also like to thank you for the recommendation on where to get some SEA SNAKE SOUP!!!
