• 5/5 from Angie Jones, attended Aug 2026: What a wonderful class! Akiko was a brilliant tutor and really helped with the objects I had bought to repair. I was really pleased with how they turned out. Akiko taught us about the traditional way of Kintsugi which was fascinating. There was only 2 in the class which was great as we had a lovely chat as we were doing our work. My classmate's project came out beautifully. I would 100% recommend this Kintsugi class.

I like the idea of bringing things back to life so that they may be enjoyed all over again. It would be a treat to become more skilled at Kintsugi. The other members in the class were enthusiastic and so pleasant to meet. Now I need to find a reliable source for materials so that I can continue.

• 4/5 from Grace Feakes, attended Jan 2026: Akiko was warm, knowledgeable and passionate. I found the class incredibly informative, given that she provided historic background of Kintsugi and walked through both the traditional and contemporary method. The experience was calming and uplifting. I will say that the class ran over. I left 20 minutes late, and was the first to leave. It would've been helpful to know about this ahead of time.
• 5/5 from Laura Whyte, attended Dec 2025: My Mum and I really enjoyed this class. We repaired some rectangular Japanese plates we'd found in a charity shop and then broke! I've got them displayed on my coffee tables with some Temari balls (also made by my very talented Mum).

• 5/5 from Chris McGough, attended Oct 2025: We loved this class by Akiko. It was fascinating to learn about kintsugi and the original processes, and we had a lot of fun breaking and then repairing our ceramics. The two hours flew by and we could have stayed longer. Akiko was an excellent teacher and really welcoming, the conversation flowed easily. We'll definitely be back for another class in the future.
• 5/5 from Hibe Antepli, attended Sep 2025: The Kintsugi workshop with Akiko was very well delivered. Akiko was welcoming and encouraged everyone to speak about the item they were repairing, before telling us about the history of Kintsugi, and showing us both the traditional and modern materials used (we used the modern materials in the workshop). She is a very competent and patient teacher who calmly helped us through each stage, and I can confidently say that we were all very happy and impressed with the results that Akiko helped us to achieve. The lovely, relaxing background music was a bonus. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and I have finally repaired a much loved item. Thank you, Akiko.
• 5/5 from Eleanor McCann, attended Sep 2025: Really enjoyed the class. Akiko was great at taking us through the process - and the background /technique of kintshugi - and giving us time to get our bits right. The format was nice and informal and the other members of the class were really good to work with. A lovely two (and a half - probably me talking too much) hours repairing my broken pots.
• 5/5 from Anne Braae, attended Sep 2025: This class was great! Akiko was friendly and so knowledgeable. She gave an introduction to the traditional technique before explaining what we would do in class using modern materials. Due to time we can’t do the traditional way in this short class. She was fantastic at helping us out our pieces back together and showing us what to do. It was such a fun class! She also provided sweets and hot drinks. At the end of class Akiko packed our completed ceramics so carefully so we could take them home. One tip- if you have a box that fits your piece, bring it along. Overall this was a fantastic experience.
• 5/5 from Toryn Whitehead, attended Sep 2025: Really enjoyed this class! I learnt a useful and exciting new skill and the teacher was kind and thoughtful. The studio space was welcoming and relaxing which sometimes isn’t the case when I’ve been to these type of things before.
