I am a craftsman from the UK who dedicates all their time to Kintsugi welds. My journey began at college in 2012 where I learnt about different types of welding. Kintsugi seemed natural to me as I enjoy the art of imperfection.

My team and I have been pioneering the Kintsugi industry, showing that we are capable of being a top performer with new innovative techniques. We wish to share our knowledge and give a memorable experience.

Booked this class as part of an anniversary celebration. It did not disappoint.
A wonderful experience. Lovely and quite venue, good class size and Brandon, our teacher, was absolutely fantastic! Very kind, helpful and knowledgeable!
Worth every penny - the end product was amazing and something to cherish!

Alex Davis Mar 2024


Brandon and Maya ran a kintsugi workshop for 18 people in our office. The workshop ran really smoothly and both were friendly and helpful throughout. Was really good to get plenty of demonstrations for how to do each stage of the process, but also Brandon was really knowledgeable on the history of kintsugi & Japanese pottery, and I think we all left the workshop knowing a lot more than we did when we went in which is great. All 18 of us had an amazing time, would highly recommend to anyone who's after a fun, creative workshop that anyone can enjoy!

Calum McEwan Mar 2024


Very personal and great session by Brandon. Would highly recommend to anyone for trying new things or date nights.

Claire Verrier Mar 2024


Excellent teaching, fantastic experience & my daughter & I came away with beautiful pieces of pottery repaired with golden veins that we’ll treasure always. Thank you Brandon - you’re a wonderful teacher & we hugely enjoyed the whole experience.

This Kintsugi workshop with Brandon was such a heartwarming experience! He was absolutely brilliant in making sure everyone felt welcome and his humour was right up my street! I did this workshop with my family and they loved every minute of it, especially Brandon himself ~ I would highly recommend trying this experience out

Stephen Chatterley Mar 2024


Having bought this as a Christmas present, it was very well received. Brandon was extremely generous in all ways including spirit.

The class was extremely well planned and thought out with good participation for all and Brandon was very well versed in the subject.

The venue was great, easy to find and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Materials were very good and PPE was provided - the dust does get everywhere which is part of the fun but don’t wear your best clothes

The art of kintsugi was extremely fun to learn and would definitely do it again and it was extremely good value for money.

We both loved the philosophy behind the class and ending up with a bowl both that we would take away and keep forever.

Savash Djemal Mar 2024

This was a lovely class and would definitely come again and recommend people to go for it too! Brandon is amazing and his stories make the classes fun!

Hannah Mar 2024


Brandon was an incredible teacher, the session was relaxing but fun, informative and very very enjoyable. I would definitely come back! The venue also was clean, calm, relaxing and somewhere I could see myself reading or working in with a coffee outside of the classes held here. I think the cost of the session was definitely worth the experience! 10/10 would recommend!

Freeyon Mar 2024


Instructors created a safe & relaxing atmosphere and were very attentive & detailed when explaining instructions for the class. There were lots of options for what container we wanted to work with. It was a very fun & entertaining experience! The class was great value for money and we get to bring our own one-of-a-kind masterpieces home! Highly recommend!

Joao Ribeiro Mar 2024


Great activity to do and a must for anyone who loves japanese culture. Teachers are great, easy going and super helpful

Molly Mar 2024


My friend & I went as a belated birthday activity and what a perfect activity it was! It was super different to other London activities and was well thought through by Brandon & Lee. We received expert coaching in how to practice the art of kintsugi as well as some great background on the history of it & why it’s important. We had a fantastic choice of ceramic bowls to use for our piece, and got to work on it (safely of course) with a hammer. Our hosts went through the session with great support and precision, leading us clearly through the steps to create our bespoke beautiful piece. I managed to lose part of my bowl so Lee helped me find my missing piece & Brandon helped me expertly put it back together. I think this was fantastic value for money and there was a real team spirit during the session with the other attendees. Thank you Brandon & Lee! I can highly recommend this to others for something fun and different to do, you won’t be disappointed!

Dáre Mar 2024


Was looking for an activity to do with a friend visiting from abroad. This is a fun timely activity that is alcohol free. The venue is gorgeous and other participants were fun to hang out with. Brandon is great with his explanation, history and wisdom I definitely need to practice embracing imperfections.

Zornitsa Karchin Mar 2024


We didn't have any specific occasion, but the philosophy of kintsugi resonated with us. Brandon was excellent, patient and funny, too with exciting facts about Japanese culture. The venue and the items were unique, and it was very difficult to choose one only. We loved and story of Kintsugi and the end product of course. Thank you for the lovely experience, Brandon.

Michele Pollack Mar 2024


Had such a lovely evening breaking and making. Brandon and his assistant were both so helpful and patient. It was great to hear the history of how Kintsugi began and even better to go home with a finished piece from broken to strong and beautiful…thank you.

Hannah Brasch Mar 2024


Really lovely class. The teacher was organised, informative and funny. The venue was gorgeous and all materials were provided. The bowls we used were really gorgeous and it hurt my heart slightly to break them, but that made putting it back together even more enjoyable

I’d highly recommend and I’d also come back and do this class again.

Ahmad Barjous Mar 2024

It was a great experience I really had fun, the result is beautiful, would do it again!

Harriet Duffell Mar 2024


Brandon was an excellent teacher, who was really engaging and always willing to provide help. As this was my first time doing something like this, I was put at ease as soon as I walked through the door. I really enjoyed learning about the history and culture, as well as the process of Kintsugi. And you get to keep your rice bowl so you always have a memory of the class. 10/10, would recommend to everyone who is thinking of doing this.

Melanie Gouby Mar 2024


This was such a wonderful class, Brandon made the techniques very accessible and we had a great time.

Danielle Betancourt Mar 2024


Brandon is an excellent teacher! We had the best time creating something really beautiful and interesting thanks to Brandon's guidance, humour, and skill. The prep and materials were thoughtfully presented so that we could easily follow the steps to make something truly unique. His pacing and explanations helped us to understand the what, how, and why behind each part of the process, which made it both really interesting and rewarding! So happy I took the class

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Booked it for a friends birthday. The activity and teacher was great. However would have been helpful to know the dust goes everywhere and therefore don’t nice clothes, which we did as we were going for dinner afterwards. The class would be better suited to 3hrs as it was quite a rush (for an activity that is all about taking your time): we barely finished after the 2hr mark and have to leave (due to said reseveration).

Anais Lafite Mar 2024


Amazing experience! A really good and nice teacher, materials of great quality, all in all a super good way to discover this incredible art.

Rakhee M Bhatt Feb 2024


This class was a wonderful experience in learning about the history of kintsugi and how to apply this ancient art form. Brandon taught in a way that was easy to understand and made the entire process fun. I highly recommend taking this class with him!

Eliana Feb 2024


I bought the course for myself because the concept has been on my mind for years and I’ve wanted to try kintsugi for a long time. The course was very well organised, Brandon was a lovely, attentive teacher. He really knows what he’s doing. The two hours went by so fast and it was so relaxing. I think I might have picked up a new hobby thanks to Brandon. :) Highly recommended as a solo activity as well as a date.

5 ClassBento workshops attended


Me and my husband went on a date evening- we wanted to do something different. It is set in a beautiful venue- spacious, lots of plants, quirky decor. walking distance to Tower Bridge. It was a Sunday so we got easy parking just outside the building.

All materials were provided and were of excellent quality. Our teacher Brendon was absolutely delightful. He kept the whole class engaged with his knowledge of Kintsugi and little jokes. The whole session was quite therapeutic and we both enjoyed it immensely.

Jyoti Patil Feb 2024


The whole arrangement from start to finish was perfect.
Brandon walked us through the history of this art as he gave us step by step show and follow session for the 2 hours.

Really enjoyed the craft.

Ganyah Feb 2024


Where to begin! This whole experience and Japanese art form that Brandon brings to light in London is incredible. Firstly, the booking process is super easy and accommodating. The venue has a stunning interior design, super large space, lots of green and bright lights. The selection of bowls are also beautiful. I spent my birthday evening with friends doing this workshop and would def recommend it for a wholesome and creative activity in London. Everyone was so happy to take special bowls home. Brandon is an excellent teacher and makes sure everyone leaves with a unique and crafted bowl.

Anton Feb 2024


I recently had the pleasure of attending a Kingitsu two-hour class with my girlfriend, and it was an experience we'll cherish for a long time. We didn't have a specific occasion; we simply wanted to try something new together and bond over a shared activity.

Our teacher, Brendon, was phenomenal. Not only was he incredibly skilled in Kingitsu, but he also had a natural talent for teaching. He was patient, encouraging, and had a great sense of humor, making the class both informative and enjoyable.

The venue was fantastic. It had a serene atmosphere that was perfect for focusing on the practice. The space was clean, well-maintained, and provided ample room for everyone to move comfortably.

The materials provided were top-notch. From the mats to the instructional materials, everything was of high quality and contributed to a seamless learning experience.

During the class, we learned various techniques and principles of Kingitsu. From basic stances to more advanced maneuvers, Brendon guided us through each step with clarity and precision. We left the class feeling empowered and inspired to continue our practice.

In terms of value for money, the class exceeded our expectations. Considering the expertise of the instructor, the quality of the venue, and the materials provided, it was worth every penny. Plus, the skills and knowledge gained were priceless.

What we liked most about the class was the sense of accomplishment we felt after mastering new techniques. There's something incredibly gratifying about pushing your boundaries and discovering what you're capable of, especially when you have a supportive teacher and partner by your side. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to attend another Kingitsu class in the future.

Kishan Parekh Feb 2024


Had such a great time and learnt lots about Japanese culture and Kintsugi origins! Brandon was fantastic and super friendly. We definitely will come back for another class, it was 100% worth it, the bowls came back looking amazing.

Aashna Das Feb 2024


Booked a kintsugi class with my friends on a Friday night. Lovely way to spend the time, Brandon was so lovely and patient with all of us. He helped us create the most beautiful ceramic bowls and it was a night we will never forget Cannot recommend enough

Tonia Feb 2024


The experience was amazing. Brandon was great at explaining everything in detail and making sure everyone understood the instructions.

Abigail Palmer Feb 2024


Brandon was a great teacher and it was a brilliant and fun introduction to Kintsugi.

Maria Feb 2024


I wanted to learn more about kintsugi and to start practicing it, not just reading. Brandon, our teacher, was very helpfull, explanations clear and very good timing. Good value for money, we had 2 hours lesson and all materials included. We had to choose the bowl, smash it with a hammer and then repair with gold. I like my bowl very much and I defenitely would like to continue my kinstsugi exploration.

Georgie Clark Feb 2024


I gifted this to my girlfriend for her birthday. Brandon was a really passionate and enthusiastic teacher, who was there to guide us every step of the way. The venue was really nice and spacious. Getting to keep one of the bowls each was really good value for money. Will definitely be recommending this to all my friends and family.

Caspar Feb 2024


The Kintsugi class was very well organised, and thought out by Brandon the teacher.

The class was intriguing and Brandon was a great facilitator and guide keeping everyone at the same pace

Anonymised ClassBento student Feb 2024


I did enjoy this class and there were points where the host was charming/funny but when we arrived him and his friend were showing each other things on their phones and we were told to “wait a minute”. While we were waiting around it wouldn’t have hurt to engage with his customers, asking where they’d come from/if the event was for a special occasion etc. I understand that food is a no no around the products but the opportunity for a cup of coffee or drink would have been very welcome. The venue was very nice but again, the welcome desk was a little frosty.
Good range of bowls and plates but again, we weren’t guided towards this, just left to our own devices somewhat.
Throughout the class Brandon did come around to check we were all on target etc and the materials were all well laid out and accessible.

Veronica Zundel Feb 2024


This was a Christmas present from my son. I chose to spend the voucher on a Kintsugi class as the process fascinates me. The teacher was entertaining and encouraging, and the venue was pleasant and easy to find. I was the oldest in the class by about 40 years but didn't feel out of place and I felt my results were not bad for a messy beginner. It was a relaxing time and I got a lovely bowl out of it.

Brandon is an amazing teacher and instructor! He created a very easy and comfortable atmosphere where everyone knew what they were doing and felt guided and secure. His sense of humour and relaxed but focused attitude definitely made this a one of a kind experience! It was a birthday present for a friend and she absolutely loved it!

Ivy Jan 2024


My Bestie and I had a brilliant time doing and learning about Kintsugi with Brandon. He has done an impressive job creating a set up that means a class of strangers perform each step in coordination. Thanks to this our synchronised artistic endeavours were perfectly supported by his attention. It was a really fun class - recommend to anyone who wants to feel like a master creator and get to know a bit more about East Asian philosophy and art.

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners review by Ivy - London

Barbara Jan 2024


I'd always wanted to try Kintsugi, but wasn't sure what to expect. I shouldn't have worried - it was brilliant. Our teacher, Benson, was sweet, funny, organised and laid-back. The location was open-plan and airy. And I covered any mistakes in gold and they looked beautiful, (if only life was like that!) Time just flew by. I would highly recommend. Thank you, Benson.
P.s. No photo, as my brother saw and wanted my handiwork.

Nathalie Jonval Jan 2024


It was really good fun and really instructive!
Thank you so much Brandon, we'll likely be back ☺️

Great class! Brandon was patient and his instructions were clear. I’m so pleased with my pot - and a lovely space to hold the class in as there was a coffee shop at the front.

Shambavi Rajkumar Jan 2024


My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship and it was a great way to bond and do a fun activity that creates a core memory with the little time we get to spend together throughout the year. We learnt so much about a new and unique craft and also had a therapeutic and enjoyable experience.

Brandon is extremely patient and kind and I loved his funny and charismatic attitude. The fact that he made sure to include little snippets about him and Kintsugi throughout the class also made it a well rounded experience. I can really see the amount of effort taken to make it easy, fun and comfortable for everyone. All in all, a 10/10 experience!

Brian Truong Jan 2024


Very unique experience in London. class was not too big and Brandon was a talented instructor and could not fault the evening. Would highly recommend to others.

Brandon was great and funny at introducing us to Kintsugi. The pieces turned out amazing, and we’ve already put them to use! Great activity for a date night, with friends, or anything else.

Roopa Girard Jan 2024


Brandon is proficient and professional so will be back to learn more. Well done Brandon,
Roopa

Tika Mu'tamir Jan 2024


Loved Brandon's playful and insightful energy. We had such a calming and creative time!

Sophia Lazaridis Jan 2024


The class I went to was really fun! The teacher explained the history of Kintsugi, which was very interesting to hear. The teacher also explained everything in great detail, so it would be hard to not correctly assemble a cracked up bowl. I enjoyed the class thoroughly and will definitely go again! I love the bowl I worked on today and really cannot wait to go back.

Annalise Machin Jan 2024


The instructor was lovely and answered all questions. The venue was nice, although quite warm. We repaired a broken piece of Japanese pottery using gold powder to make gold lines along the cracks.

Patricia Santos Beato Jan 2024


Amazing class! Brandon was super clear at explaining things and guided the class very well! I loved learning about the history of the technique whilst doing the different steps. Totally recommend.

Sophie Jan 2024


Excellent class and a beautiful piece of pottery to take home too!

Hannah Jan 2024


Great experience - highly recommend!

Brandon was a great teacher - he made the class really fun and informative, and it was just a really chilled atmosphere for a Sunday evening.

The venue was cool, easy to find, a nice open space - felt ideal

All materials were provided and they were easy to use - Brandon gave extremely clear instructions and timings so it was all easy to follow and understand

I think for the time, materials provided and end product (your own beautiful perfectly imperfect kintsugi bowl) it was very good value for money. Also really nice to have a choice of bowls to choose from (different shapes, sizes and styles).

We learnt about the history and culture behind kintsugi, we learnt how to break our bowls and then how to select the order of pieces to be fitted back together, how to connect the pieces and create the gold lines

Getting to smash your own bowl (in a controlled manner) was very fun, but really fun the whole process of putting the bowl back together and seeing the variety of end results from everybody.

Dominique Jan 2024


Brendon was awesome, he was funny, charming and was most all very knowledgeable. The venue was beautiful. The whole workshop was very therapeutic.
I would highly recommend this workshop we had a great time.

Nana Paizi Jan 2024


The Kintsugi pottery class for beginners I attended on Sunday was pretty cool. I’m intrigued by Kintsugi philosophy. Smashing and mending a bowl for the first time brought me joy, but it’s much deeper than this.
Brandon was professional, helpful and funny. Two hours well spent!
Highly recommended.

Natalia Orzechowska Jan 2024


This class was a fantastic way to spend time. Brandon is a great and funny teacher, who can keep the group engaged and entertained. Also the Kintsugi technique has such a deep meaning on showing imperfections. It more than just about the bowl you will smash and then mend again. It's about the mindfulness, attention and appreciation of what life brings. 100% recommended.

Max Skibinski Jan 2024


Great fun, Brandon was a good laugh and the session was relaxed and insightful. Would recommend!

Ademola Gbadebo Jan 2024


Brandon was a great teacher, he took time to explain the history of the art as well as make sure everyone was having a good time. Lovely experience would definitely recommend

Maria Michou Jan 2024


The venue to begin with was fantastic, spacious, modern and very welcoming. The highlight of the class was Brandon, our wonderful instructor who was friendly, knowledgeable and very hands on, every step of the way. For a beginners class there’s a lot to take in, but after a while, with his help, you get the hang of it. I’d definitely go again and take any class that Brandon teaches, because he’s simply amazing!

Amazing - I went on my own and not only would it make a great date night, but it worked for a solo evening, as well. Brendan was warm, funny and patient with his instructions. I may do a second class and bring my husband. And my bowl came out pretty good!

Had a great experience at the Kintsugi Pottery Class, learning about the art and mending something broken into something beautiful. Highlighting flaws showing pride in the history depicted in scars.

The class was situated at Bermonds Locke, a lovely location with a peaceful atmosphere. Brandon started the class with a warm welcome before leading us through the risk assessment and safety requirements. Equipping our safety gear we picked out the bowl we'd be working on before being instructed on how to properly break them. The class was well structured and we were led through each step at an easy pace. Brandon was supportive in keeping an eye out to step in when needed and proactively checking in throughout to make sure everyone was confident in their progress. That each required pause between steps was filled with information about the wider philosophy and history of the art made it even better. Considering the materials provided (bowl, gold and epoxy) and the personable instruction, this event was more than worth the money paid. Definitely something to recommend and happy to have my bowl to remember it by.

Jane Hastings Jan 2024


Highly recommend Brandon and this workshop. It was just what I wanted - fun, relaxed and friendly, and Brandon gave clear instructions on how to create Kintsugi pottery - step by step - blending in some of the background and history. I went with my daughter for her birthday - it was great to do this together. We sat opposite on a long table with all the materials out - gloves, aprons etc provided. He's a really nice guy - no problems if you're not very crafty! It's all easy to follow.

Max Jan 2024


Brandon was an amazing teacher, really approachable and friendly. He made the whole activity really enjoyable and interesting. We even tried adding out thumb prints for that extra touch.

If you are thinking of doing this DO IT

Ares Vidal Jan 2024


Brandon was such a fun teacher.

I absolutely loved the workshop, it was really interesting and ended up with a lovely unique art piece.

I'd totally recommend it for a date, a fun day with friends, a cool present, or even things like a hen do.

All three of us really enjoyed the session!

Brandon was a wonderful teacher. Extremely knowledgeable and very patient. His love for this art form is evident. His instruction was easy to follow and you truly can be a beginner.
All materials were provided and the end result was yours to take home.

The venue was excellent and easy to get to by bus.

The cost for this workshop is well worth the money and is a lovely way to spend a few hours.

Excellent class, I would recommend to all. The class is located in a beautiful space that feels very intimate, even within a group setting.

Brandan made everyone feel very welcome, engaging with every student on a personal level. His knowledge of the craft is extensive and he is able to translate the traditions behind Kintsugi in an fun and easy way, allowing beginner students to understand and appreciate the art form instantly.

We had a fantastic time, and immediately agreed we would happily pay to go again. Our pottery is a lasting memory of the fantastic two hour class put one of Britain's top Kintsugi artists.

Brandon was a phenomenal teacher, incredibly friendly, approachable and helpful and provided us with great background into Kintsugi. I got this as a gift from work so came alone but I’ve already asked a group of friends if they want to do this with me again. Can definitely see this becoming more of a permanent hobby

A really nice class with a really nice vibe :).

Signed up for a random Friday afternoon class in December, and met the loveliest people and a great instructor! The history of kintsugi was expertly told by Brandon and appropriately weaved into various moments of the class - all with a sprinkling of humour. Left with a pretty kintsugi'ed bowl :). Well worth it!

Thanks Brandon!

The course was so enjoyable, we lost track of time. We attended with my friend for a new experience, it was an unforgettable experience for both of us. Brandon was a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helping teacher. The course flow was very controlled, we never thought about what we should do now. At end of the day, the bowls we are left with are beautiful gifts that will always remind us of this day.

This was a fantastic workshop that was well worth the small amount you pay for. The venue and all the materials were on point. The teacher was amazing, knowledgeable and incredibly witty and fun. She went through the stages of the workshop in small parts so everyone understood and no one got left behind. She really did make the experience fun and we left with a beautiful piece of pottery. The workshop was a gift for a friends 50th and she absolutely loved it so I’d highly recommend it to everyone.

A fantastic class. Just the right pace for a beginner. I came away with a beautiful Kintsugi bowl and enough knowledge to try it on my own. The teacher was friendly and welcoming. Really excellent!

Agnieszka Nov 2023


The class was very interesting and relaxing! I learnt a bit about the history of kintsugi but most importantly I came back home with a beautiful bowl that I can display now :)
Definitely worth doing the class!

Zoja Vizinger Nov 2023


I really enjoyed the session - Brandon was a great and helpful teacher, and my friend appreciated it as her bday present

We had lots of fun learning about the beautiful art Kintsugi

Robert Fay Nov 2023


Brandon is a great teacher and made the class so fun. Takes you through the whole process and you can buy take home kits to do it again at home. Would recommend!

Rosemary Bell Nov 2023


Wonderful class. Thoroughly enjoyed it all, and the resulting pots we took home. My friend and I found the history and philosophy behind Kintsugi fascinating and uplifting. Brandon was a great teacher, and has a lovely approach. Recommending the class to other people. Thankyou Brandon

Jamie Kyle Nov 2023


Great class - the time flew by! Brandon was an excellent teacher and host. Thoroughly recommend!

George Lennox Nov 2023


What a great way to spend an afternoon. My girlfriend loves kintsugi pottery so I was amazed to find this class which was a perfect birthday present for her. We got to close our own bowls, smash them, then spend the remaining time repairing them which was both relaxing and satisfying. Brandon was an absolute star, and we picked up a couple of kits to give as Christmas presents too. Highly recommend

Libby Sheppard Nov 2023


Brandon was a great facilitator: calm, friendly, efficient and really passionate about his craft. Everything we needed was provided, the instructions were easy to follow and he was there to answer questions and help out when we made mistakes. We had a great time - I took my mum as her early Christmas gift and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to do something different and take away some cool skills!

Super smooth and relaxed atmosphere, 2 hours felt like 2 minutes. Highly recommended!

Catrin Nov 2023


Had a lovely time at the kintsugi workshop, Brandon was great and gave some history about kintsugi whilst we waited for the epoxy to dry. The class didn't feel rushed even though it was 2 hours, and we had enough time to finish and do some extra decorations if we wanted. Ended up with a great piece.

A Complete intro class
Brandon is a very fun and intuitive teacher and made the two hours go so quickly
I would recommend this to anyone as it’s worth the value

Jessica Vanquin Nov 2023


Great date night and really enjoyed the workshop! Thank you very much Brandon We love it.

Samantha Nov 2023


I had a really great time at this class! The teacher, Brandon, was very skilled and really nice. Each class includes a pot, which you get to break and kintsugi back together. I also brought a dish that I had made but had been broken and he was kind enough to let me kintsugi that. I found the process really fun and therapeutic! I wish I'd known about this studio sooner as it looks like a brilliant space to do pottery, too.

Nadia Nov 2023


An absolutely fab class! Brandon is an incredible and patient leader who taught and helped us with each step. He is very patient and we didn’t feel rushed to make our perfect kintsugi pieces.

Huanji Li Nov 2023


This was AMAZING experience - leant some good 金缮 Kintsugi techniques and “Zen” time~ I loved it!

Anuli Changa Nov 2023


An underwhelming experience would have been more fun to DIY:
- We were met with confusion when we entered and someone gestured vaguely and we had to wonder around the warehouse space till we found the right table.
- we started late as we were waiting on late people
- Brandon gave more time to some people than others, when my bowl didn't fit back together properly I was told there was nothing I could do and for another person he took the time to file down the bowl to ensure it fit better, disappointing to have such different experience
- near the end Brandon started to rush us to finish
- he also mentioned during the class how boring he found Kintsugi, a rather tone deaf comment.

Georgiana Davies Nov 2023


a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, this was most enjoyable and relaxing!

Kia Howson Oct 2023


This class was one of the best pottery workshops I have ever been to. It was a real honour getting to share our teacher, Brandon's, talent and passion for the art of Kinsugi as well as its philosophy. I would highly recommend this class :)

Begum Oct 2023


Very fun class! The teacher was very knowledgeable on the philosophy of Kintsugi art form and it made the class much more meaningful. Great venue, other pottery classes were going on at the same time, so it felt like a very creative space. I will definitely go back to the studio to do more pottery classes there. The pots provided for the class were beautiful and the instructions were very clear to create a lovely Kintsugi piece. Overall, very enjoyable experience and made me more interested in the art form. Thank you!

Antonia Johnston Oct 2023


Really enjoyed the class, Brandon was really knowledgeable and created a fun atmosphere. I love the kintsugi bowl I created!

Dean Martin Oct 2023


Brandon was excellent! Loved the course, the pace and the help along the way. Thank you

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


The class is evenly paced since you have to strictly follow the timings set out by Brandon, and it was quite fun to see your progress little by little. If you are not too artistically inclined, I would recommend this class since Brandon individually guides each student with their piece.

Vivian Nguyen Oct 2023


Amazing class! Brandon is such a funny and inspiring teacher. It was worth the date night couldn't have enjoyed it more. Thank you again for this experience xx

Priya Raj Oct 2023


I booked a Kintsugi Pottery class as I thought it would be a cute date night idea after seeing it on TikTok. The venue was really easy to find and was less than a 5 minute walk from the train station. Our class was taught by Kira who was super friendly, helpful and had good knowledge on the art form. Also I love how all materials were provided and there was a good selection of pieces to choose from to work with and then take home with you! This class is perfect for beginners and I would definitely recommend it. I wouldn't say either of us are 'artsy' or 'crafty' people but we really enjoyed it and would love to do something like this again!

Brune Levi-Hamza Oct 2023


Brandon was such a great teacher; kind and patient, he guided us through every step while making the entire 2 hours very entertaining; with fun insights as well as the actual history of the craft and the culture it stems from. His approach is supportive and reassuring, leaving room for mistakes and allowing us to experiment. I love the ceramic bowls we got to take home, it feels like such a unique piece and I am pretty proud to have the power to do it again on my own! All in all; incredible value here and it doubles as a really good time to spend alone, on a date, or with friends, it's super versatile.

The venue was easy to find and clean and tidy. Its a working studio and nice to see artists doing their projects.
The class tools were easy to use and we made a beautiful dish that we could take home on the day in our 2 hr slot.
There are other courses available and I will definitely be checking these out.

Attended the class unfortunately an hour and half late, but the host was very kind and accommodated to the time we had left, and let us stay whist he cleared up. Very calming and fun activity for a group of friends or a date. Finding the venue was a little hard, which could be addressed in a message beforehand, however was not the biggest issue. All in all great experience and would do again

His instructions are clear and easily understandable. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Didn’t even notice how fast time went by as I was focusing so much on the piece.

I highly recommend the course.
Good fun and we all can have a perfectly imperfect bowl at the end.

Initially I thought it was very slow, we started way after it was supposed to which was annoying. But, I did really enjoy the course once it got going! There was something very calming and lovely about the process. Our teacher Kira was really great, she guided us in a very nice way and was just lovely while sharing some facts about the history of Kintsugi. The best thing about Kintsugi is that you can be really bad at it and the end result is still very pretty! I love my little bowl.

Absolutely loved the class.
Although venue changed unexpectedly, the new spot was in easy walking distance from the train station. Venue was a pottery studio, so was spacious & probably a great teaser for anyone wanting to start pottery-wheel lessons!
We had a wide wonderful selection of pottery items to choose fromselecting my final choice was tough, but that is a good thing!
Brandon is a great teacher. He is infinitely patient and kind and teaches at just the right pace. I would recommend this is anyone who is interested in Kintsugi.
Just a pity, that the kintsugi kits for doing it yourself at home, were out of stock.

We had such a good time. We both were a little nervous as this is out of our comfort zone, but Brandon was very helpful and made the whole process easy to follow. It was really interesting learning about the history of Kintsugi and how it links to the mental health aspect is cool. It was a very calm environment with a friendly group of people. We are both happy with our bowls, and would recommend to anyone even if you have no experience of this kind of thing.
Thanks again!

Brandon was a great teacher, clearly explaining what we needed to do and how to do it. I think we all came away happy we everything we broke then repaired! A really enjoyable class.

Carmelina Critcher Sep 2023


Great hands-on workshop by Brandon. Lots of bowls/plates to choose from. We were definitely spoilt for choice! It was fun learning to break the items before putting them back together the Kintsugi way. I liked that the repairs were done in stages, with everyone doing the same steps altogether so that Brandon could control the timings. I was quite proud of my plate and it now sits on the mantlepiece for everyone to admire!

Anonymised ClassBento student Sep 2023


The class is well-paced and Brandon is very friendly. Coming home with a beautiful piece of kintsugi is very satisfying. The craft itself requires some technique but is the right amount of challenge for me.

The class itself was easy enough for complete beginners and really enjoyable. The quality of the ceramics provided was obvious too and and a mark of quality. There was no cut-off at the end and Brandon was happy to help those still struggling to finish their pieces.

I highly recommend the class to anyone.

Great course, lovely tutor - it was great to also learn about the background to the artwork as well as to learn practical skills

Anton Sep 2023


This was a fantastic experience. Fun, educational, relaxing, and very different.

The two hour session absolutely flew by, which is a testament to how much we enjoyed ourselves!

Our teacher / guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and funny. He gave clear directions, and supported everyone in the class to have the best experience and go home with marvellous pieces of unique art. The venue was perfect - a real ceramics working space, which I look forward to going back to.

Also excellent value for money, given the quality of the bowl we were able to choose (to take home) the materials, and amount of 1-2-1 support. The class size was spot on.

I’ll definitely be recommending this class to friends, and have already looked at buying a home kit from Brandon when they’re next available, as the way it slowed my mind down is something I need more of in my life!

Thanks to Brandon and Jackie Chi (woof!)

It was such a lovely class! I went with a very close friend. I would highly recommend. Communication with the team even before is really good. Keira (not sure if I spelled her name correctly)- she's amazing, patient, knowledgable, friendly and very sweet. The tone was set from the beginning, it really felt like a safe place to learn, met new people from all walks of life. Everyone who attended was super nice. I would definitely go again.

Such a fun and interesting afternoon - I can't recommend it highly enough! Brandon was so patient and unflappable, explaining clearly what to do, when, and how (lots of respect for time and gravity!). He is very experienced and it was great to learn a bit about the history and philosophy of kintsugi as well as making a piece ourselves which we could then take home. Brandon's enthusiasm and energy was infectious, and he was able to give each of us in the group individual attention as well as building and maintaining a fun team dynamic. Thanks so much Brandon - can't wait to break/make my next creation!

There was a great selection of bowls to choose from to make it really feel like your own work, and the lesson behind the artwork was incredible to learn and feel.

Brandon was excellent. Super attentive and really passionate about the class. We really enjoyed the experience and think it was very well priced. Actually, I would have been happy to have paid a bit extra for a slightly smaller class size as Brandon was stretched slightly thin given we had a sold out session.

Realy loved the piece that we took home and I would highly recommend to others for both a date night activity but also a work / team function.

We got a good intro into the history and philosophy of kintsugi, had some fun with controlled demolition, were guided through the process and ended up with a lovely piece to take home. It's a slow paced class (not in a bad way!) there's a bit of down time between steps. But Brandon made it very engaging and the 2 hours flew by.

Yaya Grant May 2023


I recently had the pleasure of attending a Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the class was not only highly informative but also incredibly engaging. The instructor's vast knowledge of the history behind Kintsugi was truly captivating, and their ability to convey this information in an entertaining manner made the entire class thoroughly enjoyable.

Right from the beginning, it was evident that the instructor was passionate about Kintsugi. Their expertise in the art form shone through as they shared the fascinating history and philosophy behind it. Not only did they explain the traditional techniques, but they also delved into the cultural significance and symbolism associated with Kintsugi. It was a delight to learn about how this centuries-old Japanese art form has evolved and continues to inspire people worldwide.

One of the standout qualities of the instructor was their ability to make the class both informative and fun. Their humor and light-hearted approach created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and engaged. They effortlessly balanced sharing their knowledge with lighthearted anecdotes and witty remarks, keeping the class entertained throughout.

The hands-on experience of creating our own Kintsugi pottery was the highlight of the class. The instructor expertly guided us through each step, providing clear instructions and demonstrating the techniques with precision. They patiently answered questions and offered helpful tips, ensuring that everyone felt confident in their artistic endeavors.

Additionally, the instructor's passion for Kintsugi was contagious. Their enthusiasm was palpable, and it sparked a newfound appreciation for this art form within me. Their dedication to preserving the essence of Kintsugi while embracing its adaptability to modern aesthetics was inspiring, and it left me eager to explore further.

Having attended this class, I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented and charismatic teacher. Their vast knowledge, engaging teaching style, and ability to infuse humor made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I left the class feeling not only informed but also inspired to delve deeper into the world of Kintsugi.

Thank you Brandon great teacher!

I attended a Kintsugi class on Friday night, Brandon was very welcoming. He explained the process very well, and he was very patient and attentive. Everything we needed was supplied. It was very interesting to learn a new art medium.

Great class learning the art of kintsugi, everything was explained clearly and Brandon took the time to go round the class and support each of us. I’m really happy with the my piece that I get to take away with me. Thanks Brandon! Would highly recommend :)

Jessica Agozzino Apr 2023


Brandon has been the no. 1 seller for this class for 6 years in the running and it's very clear why! He was 100% prepared for everything, a lovely teacher, the process was excellent and was totally a beginners course. I would recommend this class to anyone, thanks Brandon!

The teachers are great. We enjoyed the class very much. The material are nice, colour of the plate is lovely , goes really well with gold. Pricing of the class is reasonable with all materials included. Most of all it is enjoyable 2 hours.

Preeti Kulkarni Apr 2023


Teacher and the assistant were really good. Good clear instructions and overall a great workshop

Amanda Hood Apr 2023


Great to learn a new skill and understand more about the origins of Kintsugi from Brandon and Kiera. All the materials were provided and we were able to take away our finished 'masterpieces' at the end of the session.

No prior knowledge needed.

Elisa Locati Apr 2023


Absolutely amazing. Both Brandon and Kira were very knowledgeable and helped everyone no matter how many questions we had. It was so pleasant and such a deep and lovely experience. I would highly recommend.

Great session! You get a really nice bowl provided, and all the materials you need. Two hours is enough to finish your bowl but you could stay on a little bit longer if you needed more time/to tidy up your bowl. Brandon and Kira were great teachers, and very patient with all our questions! It was also interesting to hear about the origins of kintsugi. Would definitely recommend this class.

Claire Beazley-Mungovan Mar 2023


A very enjoyable experience. Brandon managed the session well. There was a good balance between giving background history of the origin and ethos behind the technique and clear practical instruction and individual help. The offer of an extra hour at the end to stay and practice was an unexpected bonus which I was sad not to be able to take up.

Had a lovely time reconstructing a broken bill into a new and unique piece. Brandon is a great teacher, the general atmosphere was playful and peaceful.

What a fantastic way to spend your Sunday afternoon. Great teachers, beautiful choice of pottery, amazing results! I absolutely love the bowls I did, they look stunning and I couldn’t be happier. I cannot recommend this workshop or Brandon highly enough. Just fab. Money well spent and a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting afternoon. Thank you

Joe Harland Mar 2023


A kind and generous lesson mixing art and philosophy in a positive environment that made creating art in the company of strangers a breeze. A lovely experience.

Gulzar Rahman Mar 2023


What an enjoyable activity! Brandon is an excellent teacher and most importantly a wonderful person. He was vulnerable with the class sharing his own life experiences and linked it to the art of Kintsugi. He was willing to help out each individual and even gave us hours after the class to clean up our work. 10/10, highly recommend to any person willing to try something new.

We really had a great time at this Kintsugi class.
Brandon was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient.
It was very interesting to learn about the philosophy behind this form of art and now give back life to a broken bowl or plate.
Perfect experience for a date night or a birthday present.

Lei Cao Mar 2023


Thanks Brandon for a really meaningful and memorable Kintsugi workshop. Strongly recommended to every one.

Maria Franco Mar 2023


Great class! Fun and informative. Brandon and Kira share their knowledge with passion and humility. I learnt how to repair a broken piece and also the history and philosophy behind it. Can't recommend enough!

Shash Mistry Mar 2023


Brandon and Kira were fantastic, very helpful andfriendly, enjoyed the whole class.
This was a gift from our daughters.
The room was ok, could do with more space to work, maybe a work bench style table with stools, I found the chairs a little low for me. But that's a minor thing.
Thank you very much. Would love to do another class.

Brandon is an amazing teacher - he is super passionate about Kintsugi and he shared his experiences and knowledge to ensure that we all got the best out of the class, and doing things properly.
He was extremely patient with everyone, friendly, funny, and enthusiastic which made the class really enjoyable. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a class that offers something different (and a beautiful masterpiece at the end!) :)

Janet Waterhouse Mar 2023


I really enjoyed the Kintsugi pottery class for beginners. Brandon was a very friendly and patient teacher, told us all about the history and meaning of Kintsugi and was very attentive to every participant. Would highly recommend.

Alison Buxton Feb 2023


Brandon was an excellent, engaging teacher, clear in his instructions and attentive to all his students. He managed the timing and ensured everyone was ready to move to the next stage. The room was well lit, a bit draughty as fresh air was required to minimise the fumes from the glue. I learnt about the background and philosophy behind kintsugi and with patience and attention to detail something beautiful can be made from broken pieces. I would highly recommend this class.

Johanna Cave Feb 2023


Good fun and quite a 'mindful' process. The tutors explained the ethos behind the process and some of the history. Good way to spend a Sunday evening and accessible to all.

We learnt, we enjoyed and we kind of meditated too. Not to mention that now we all have a beautiful piece of art at home. Japanese culture is just amazing! Brandon guided us through all the stages and balance the activity as such with the addition of a lot of wise insights. I loved it!

It was a well organised class and also quite a large one! You’ll get to select a pottery, smash it, then join it back together via the kintsugi method. The teachers are constantly reminding you the beauty in imperfection (which is the philosophy behind this technique) and tying back to mental wellness, which is a nice touch. It’s relatively straightforward though it teaches you patience because you have to wait 15 mins at a time for each piece to dry. All in all enjoyable and will be a meaningful gift for loved ones.

Anne Claydon Feb 2023


My daughter and I joined a large but very friendly group last night… Brendon and Kary were easy to get on with and were very helpful when needed. I enjoyed learning about the origins of Kintsugi and its deeper meanings. The two hour introduction is very well organised. Patience is not one of my virtues but I had to be, to follow the process… the end results depends very much on the cracks and your patience…

Hannah Winter Feb 2023


We loved the class! We felt it was very well-organised and the teachers were very attentive. Thrilled with our little bowls

Joe Elson Feb 2023


The teaching was absolutely lovely, they taught you the philosophy behind it all as well as how to make beautiful ceramics. The experience was mindful and relaxing. Brandon was excellent at making it both educational and fun as well as being extremely entertaining and patient with everyone. We look forward to attending another class soon, and would definitely recommend for a fantastic afternoon of cultural crafting. Thank you very much Joe and Georgina

Devon Han-Klein Feb 2023


Class was amazing! Everything was well explained and all materials were set up when we arrived so it was easy to relax and enjoy the process. Brandon was a great instructor and made sure we all understood what to do.

You don’t need to bring anything, he has everything you need.

It’s a really meaningful experience because of the history behind the art so the class is great for couples (I went with my husband and he loved it too!), friends, and even something to do by yourself.

Highly recommend!

Brandon delivered a fantastic class with great enthusiasm and imparted his vast knowledge in a fun and friendly atmosphere. I was so pleased to have learnt so much and was able to take home my completed practice piece and also was encouraged to repair my own bowl that I had brought along which had great sentimental value.
This class was such great value and I will be recommending this to my family and friends to enrol and enjoy the creative art. I know that I will be back to do more classes with Brandon.

Everything set out ready to start. Only criticism is needed more lightI struggled at times to see clearly which reflected in my finished plate. That said well worth the costgold was a true colour and the plate a beautiful blue. Really happy all in all.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Totally happy with the venue, equipment and facilities.

It was total value for money too.

The only complaint I have was my gift voucher was for two people and I was only able to book for one person during the booking process.

Nevertheless I would highly recommend and return to do another workshop.

Thank you x

Really enjoyed the session.

The teachers were both really friendly, welcoming and made the session enjoyable. Gained a good understanding of the philosophy behind the art.

Session held in a secluded room above bar/ pub. Parking nearby.
All materials provided for the course with clear instructions.

Really relaxed environment (so much so I think we went overtime)

Having 2 instructors worked well for our class size of 12 or so!

£50 per person seemed a little steep but it is good value for money with class size, materials, good vibe and for the masterpiece you create and take home =]

Overall - really good experience, would recommend.

Brandon was a wonderful teacher bursting with character and knowledge. He has an effective way of conveying techniques and methods through both his demonstrations and explanations.

The class was on time, my creation turned out superb and Brandon was a delight to have as a teacher for the entirety of the session.

Materials and equipment are provided, it isn't hard to find and had a very welcoming atmosphere.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. It is a must visit if you have any shred of interest in arts and craft or pottery.

My favourite part of the class is how Brandon and his colleague explained the philosophy of Kintsugi.

Rosaleen Burton Nov 2022


This experience was absolutely worth the money! I booked this for my friends birthday. Very relaxed atmosphere whilst absorbing the technique and depth behind this art form. It’s a perfectly balanced class in terms of having a chilled approach whilst delicately approaching the methodology of the kintsugi art form. Brandon hit the perfect balance between being attentive to us beginners whilst allowing us to find our own way through the class. The background music was decent too!

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners review by Dianoshiya Clement - London

Jay Doshi Nov 2022


Brandon was an excellent teacher, teaching us not only the techniques of how to create the pottery, but also philosophy behind the art. He was also very accommodative, we were running slightly late in arriving at the venue and Brandon phoned up to let us know that he'll have to start soon, and offer any assistance in case we were struggling to find where the class was.
The plates and bowls provided to work on were beautiful, it seemed a shame to break them, but the end product was worth it.
Not sure if there are any other Kintsugi experiences in London, but having Brandon teach us and show his passion was arguably more interesting than actually fixing the plate.

Anonymized Customer Nov 2022


The teachers were helpful, it was enjoyable but wish they went into the history behind kintsugi a bit more. The equipment and process we used was quite simple. It was quite expensive for what it was!

Really enjoyed this workshop, it was such a unique, fun experience! My partner and I were both new to Kintsugi and Brandon did an excellent job teaching the class and helping everyone with creating their own special piece of pottery. The finished pieces were beautiful and each one is special as no two are the same so you go home with a lovely piece that is unique to you. I would wholeheartedly recommend this workshop, thanks again Brandon for an unforgettable experience :)

Brandon was the most incredible teacher, so warm and welcoming - he comes with such an open energy and supports everyone in the room. He was so organised and set up our room beautifully in advance of running our activity - I literally couldn't fault him.

All our team came away with the most beautiful momento from learning kintsugi, and i'm sure it will have made a lasting impression.

Thanks Brandon!

Hannah Gringard Oct 2022


I think I speak on behalf of everyone that attended Sunday’s class, when I say that learning such art under the guise of Brandon was incredibly fun, thought provoking and warm. Arrived not knowing what to expect but left feeling more connected to myself and to loved ones. Highly recommend this teacher/class for anyone wanting to slow down and enjoy some time focusing on the small things. Shout out to Gareth. MVP

Hayden Jones Oct 2022


Brandon was a fantastic teacher and guide through out the process. He made us feel welcome and excited about the whole experience. We clearly made the best bowls and Brandon recognised this. The venue was good, and the value for money was great. (2 hour session, all materials provided and you get to take home your bowl/tray etc.) would highly recommend

My friend and I took this class with Brendon and we loved it! It's exactly what we'd been hoping for: relaxed atmosphere, experienced guidance that helped us to embraced the Kintsugi art concept and made it an enjoyable process. Class has the perfect attendees number, plenty of space, variety of good quality pottery to choose from (we still had to break it), all required material for restoration and we are so proud of our first final pieces! They will be the perfect gift we were looking for. Looking forward to attending intermediate class soon.

Silvia Marocco Sep 2022


Really good class. Brandon and Kira were great teachers and put us all at ease and provided guidance along the way. Would really recommend this class.

Paula Jordan Sep 2022


Really enjoyed this class. Brandon was friendly, funny and very approachable. Enjoyed it immensely - who knew smashing pottery and putting it back together again could be therapeutic and relaxing. All equipment provided as well as PPE. At the end you come away with your very own work of art. Couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon well spent. Would love to do it again!

Carmanah Sep 2022


A truly fantastic experience. Brandon brought great energy, wonderful story telling, and walked us through step by step on how to create a beautiful piece of art. It was the first time I had been in flow in months and I really appreciated the space that Brandon created in order for us to do so. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to do something new, or anyone looking to slow down and be present while creating something beautiful. I've travelled a lot in my life and this was a very memorable experience!

Great experience, 100% recommend! Brandon guides the group in a relaxed, yet informative and engaging way. We booked as a family of 4 and all really enjoyed it.

The venue is an ideal place to feel inspired. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and additionally to the class, there was live music, delicious pizzas and a local makers' shop to explore. It's also right night to Telegraph Hill, with impressive views of London, if you have time before/after.

The Kintsugi process, philosophy and materials made this class feel completely unique to anything we had attempted before. We are all very happy with the creations we took home. Definitely recommend, thank you Brandon.

Brandon was a great instructor, knowledgeable and humorous. Kept the pace up. The time flew by. We made a lovely piece of work to take home. All equipment was supplied. The venue, upstairs room of a pub, was fine. It was large and airy.
Many thanks for an enjoyable evening.

Brandon was incredibly friendly and helpful!

The class was easy to follow and fun and overall really enjoyable.

Big thanks from me, I get to take home a piece I made ready to be given as a gift to someone else!

Excellent class, highly recommend. A fun and relaxing activity for a group of friends- and we had our own beautiful art pieces at the end! Brandon is passionate about Kintsugi, and this reflects on the quality of his teaching.

5 stars ✨ - Thanks Brandon I had a great time learning not only about the process but the philosophy and meaning behind. Brandon was a great teacher who took the time to explain the steps, answer our questions in a fun way and be for us. The atmosphere was very relaxing and nice place, I would definitely recommend this activity.

We loved our Kintsugi class with Brandon. He took us through not just the steps involved, but also the history and philosophy of Kintsugi. The small class format meant that we could ask questions and also get our work checked by Brandon at each step to make sure we were all on track. Brandon provided everything we needed, including protective equipment, and the venue was great. Would highly recommend

Absolutely awesome class! Brandon is super knowledgeable about the art of kintsugi and taught us lots of interesting things about Asian culture, as well as being very open to questions from the group.
He was really engaging, explained each step, and helped everyone create beautiful pieces to take home at the end. The selection of pottery we could choose from was beautiful and everyone was so happy with their finished pieces!
Brandon also had his super cute doggy, Bea, with him which was an added bonus! A great way to spend an evening, value for money and you get a beautiful piece of repaired pottery to take away with you!

Hannah Hughes Aug 2022


Brandon was amazing! His passion and love for his craft was so inspiring. I booked this workshop for my sister’s birthday and we had a brilliant time. We had never done Kintsugi before but Brandon explained every step so brilliantly. He and Kira made us feel so relaxed and comfortable all through the session! I really enjoyed learning about the background and philosophy of Kintsugi as well as the creative part. Absolutely would recommend!

Brandon was a phenomenal teacher and made this class even more fun than expected. He is very genuine and truly cares about the art of Kintsugi. His energy radiates and his teaching style was a lot of fun.
The activity itself was very calming and allowed us to get into a nice flow with putting our pottery back together. The principles, the history, the hands-on work and the teacher were all 12/10. Highly highly recommended

The teacher is super nice and considerate. You can easily tell that he’s into the art and also the philosophy behind it.

This class was amazing. It was brilliant to try out this art form, which Ike always admired . The teacher was very knowledgable and you were taken through the process step by step. I LOVED it! Highly recommend.

Tori Self Aug 2022


Brandon and Kira were fantastic. I had a wonderful afternoon learning more about Japanese culture and absolutely loved the creative space of the class. The philosophy behind Kintsugi came through in the teaching, and it was cool to connect to this as a group.

I found it was very nicely paced and it was very easy to ask questions throughout as well as get to know the instructors and other people in the class. The location was the sweetest cafe. I had an amazing time and hope to book again. Thank you!

Experience is above average except the location is a bit far from centre London. Had to walk around 15 mins from the train station plus. Would be better if it would be demonstrated at the spot rather than just showing the video.

Jennifer Dinh Jul 2022


This was the first class I’ve ever booked for anything and it did not disappoint! It was really fun and Brandon was friendly and helpful all the way through! Would definitely recommend as a date night activity or just something new to try out

Simone Heathcock Jul 2022


Brandon was lovely, friendly and engaging. Had a great time and love my piece of art!

Natasha Coppins Jul 2022

Caroline Smith Jul 2022


Venue and materials were great
We had two teachers, one more expert than the other. Class started more than 20 minutes late so was rushed towards the end. It was great. And we went away with a completed project, but balance/structure of workshop could have been better managed.
The venue didn’t allow for personal introductions etc and it would have been better to get stuck straight in. We learnt more by doing than repeatedly watching the videos we were presented with

Lucie Taillefer Jul 2022


Lovely instructors! The instructions are clear and 2 hours is plenty to finish the work and not being rushed. So fun, will recommend

Sirine Hanaf Jun 2022


Loved this activity! I learned to embrace imperfection and see beauty in it :)
Brandon was very easy to get on with, and had a great set up with background music and art pieces scattered all around the venue. We were also able to order some food from the pub downstairs to nibble on.
I'm probably one of thr least crafty person on earth but managed to take back home my very own kintsugi art piece which looked surprisingly good given how I started up this class. Will definitely come back!

Areej Al-Juneidi Jun 2022


Very fun! Would definitely come again. Great gift idea and good activity to do with friends, family and loved ones.

Robin Brock Jun 2022


The course was clear, enjoyable, to the point and done with humour. I fully recommend it.

Jahcub Trew Jun 2022


I had a great time, a really interesting and fun art form. The teachers was engaging and fun, and he was very knowledgable.

Monica Merino Jun 2022


This class was amazing, I definitely recommend it! So much fun and so different from your usual pottery or painting classes. We are actually taught how to safely break an item and then put it together, which is something so different and unique.

Our teacher, Le, was very friendly, accommodating and fun. He walked us through the whole process and the instructions were very clear. What I also appreciated was explaining a bit of the history behind this art form - so so interesting.

I would 100% recommend this, it was good value for money and also once you learn how to do this you can also get kits to do this on your own, which I found was a great idea. Thanks again Le!

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening - really clear direction and all the kit was super easy to use.
Really unique venue (also had awesome pizza and local beers on tap).
Came away with some great products to remind us of the experience. Such good value.
Would 100% recommend.

Absolutely loved the class, was such a chilled relaxed environment. Brandon is a really fun teacher, and we got to do the whole process from breaking the bowls to taking home a beautiful piece of bespoke hand made art that I will display in my home! All the materials were provided and I didn’t feel rushed. Can’t recommend it highly enough, have already told all my mates about it and they’re desperate to come!
