Recent reviews of Modern Kintsugi Experience - Transform Pottery

• 5/5 from Melanie, attended Aug 2026: This class was really good. Andri gave us a bit of history about how ceramics had been mended in the past, which was interesting. She then explained what we had to do step by step. It was a lovely relaxed morning, with a great result at the end, with all our bowls repaired using the kintsugi method. I would definitely recommend this class with Andri and her companion, who’s name I can’t remember (sorry)
• 5/5 from Julie Knight, attended Aug 2026: As a creative artist, it’s always exciting trying alternative art forms.

After 2 hours of concentration (and 'gold' sprinkled fingers) we went home with our trophy bowls.

We arrived to be greeted warmly by both Andri and Yula who then expertly guided us through the many stages of creating our own Kintsugi bowls.
