Quioto: Oficina de Kintsugi em Gion - Reparo Japonês com Ouro

We had the best time doing the workshop this afternoon. We especially loved our guide Katie. She was very patient with our family and explained all of the processes very clearly so that we were able to create our own beautiful masterpieces. Even our eight-year-old was able to take part and had lots of fun. Thank you Katie and Team for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this experience for adults and families alike. Remember to double check the address of this location as it is in a different location to the Zen chopstick and knife making workshops, which we also did today and are also are in a different location to this experience.

My husband and I just did the Kintsugi and Chopsticks workshops and LOVED it!! Patrick guided us through chopsticks crafting and Will walked us through Kintsugi. Both guides were phenomenal, spoke great English, and were hilarious and fun! 10/10 I’d recommend doing again!

Our instructor Bunon was very helpful, very peaceful and calm, and really helped us understand what this Kintsugi art form is about. She made us feel very comfortable and at ease when doing the workshop. The workshop is set up in a really cute little space in Kyoto, and there are a lot of people participating in different groups. If you go in a group of 3 to 5 people, you get private attention, so you get to do the workshop with your friends or family. I highly recommend this workshop, and it's 100% value for money.

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble aprendiendo el arte del Kintsugi en Kioto. Asistí con mi hija adulta y ambas lo pasamos de maravilla. La reserva dice que la clase dura una hora, lo cual no es suficiente para completarla. Sería mejor asignar de 1 hora y media a 2 horas para la experiencia. Realmente solo tuvimos una hora y nos apresuramos a terminarla en 1 hora y 20 minutos. Ese fue el único inconveniente de la clase. Nuestro instructor, JoJo, hizo un trabajo maravilloso explicando parte de la historia y los usos del Kintsugi. Fue realmente fascinante experimentar la filosofía del renacimiento y la reutilización. Al igual que muchos templos usan el Fénix como símbolo de renacimiento, esta clase enseñó el lado práctico del concepto. Desde volver a ensamblar el plato roto hasta aplicar el oro, JoJo lo hizo divertido e informativo. ¡Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera, de todas las edades! instructor: Divertido e interesante. experiencia: ¡Muy contentas de haber hecho tiempo para esto!

We had an amazing Kintsugi workshop with Jem and Ash for our family of 3! We scheduled the 9am session and we were one of only a few in the studio. They were both so patient and informative, allowing us to take our time and cheer us on along the way. You get to choose a broken dish (bigger and fancier ones available for purchase) then take a seat at a fully set up station. Jem and Ash walked us through each step one at a time following our pace. We brought our 15 month old who decided to fuss a bit during the session. They tag teamed playing with our toddler to allow us the ability to finish our crafts. They both offered to take pictures of us working and at the end of the experience to capture the memory. This studio does allow you to do either the chopstick or Kintsugi as part of your voucher. They did have room for walk up slots too. The location is in the Gion district with a short walk to the Yasaka Pagoda which made for a nice morning overall. 10/10 experience!

It was a very enjoyable and peaceful experience. I thank our guide Roman very much. He was friendly and kind. He was very attentive. He explained and showed everything step by step. I definitely recommend you try it. You also learn information about the history of Kintsugi.

lovely workshop! the staff were all very kind, and patiently helped us complete our kintsugi project, before packing it carefully for us to take. a small white plate was included in the original cost, and there were more colourful or larger items available to upgrade to if you wish. I enjoyed this activity greatly!

J'ai passé un moment incroyable, Thunder et Jack ont animé la session et ont fourni une histoire incroyable de Kitsungi. Ils étaient super sympathiques et ont également donné d'excellentes suggestions de restaurants pour le dîner. Ils ont aussi proposé de nous prendre en photo tout au long de la session.

Momoka and Arata guided us through the ancient process of ceramic repair, following the principle of highlighting imperfections. It was a moment of disconnection, tranquility, and seeing how with our own hands we can fix and create.

We're so glad we took the class! What a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, Leyla and Wil, for teaching us about Kintsugi and Wabi-sabi culture. It was beautiful! My wife and I will surely remember this experience. Arigatou gozaimasu.
