Q: What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics by highlighting the cracks rather than hiding them. You’ll learn a traditional-inspired technique and create your own unique piece.
Q: Can I choose my own pot?
Yes. We’ll have a selection of handmade pots available to choose from. Larger or more intricate pieces may be available for an additional fee.
Q: Can I eat or drink from my repaired piece?
No. Kintsugi pieces are not food-safe and should be used for decorative purposes only.
Q: Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
Bookings are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, regardless of the reason. This includes illness, injury, transport delays, traffic, emergencies, work commitments, weather conditions or changes to personal circumstances.
Q: What happens if I arrive late?
Please arrive 10 minutes before the class starts. If you arrive 30 minutes or more after the scheduled start time, we reserve the right to refuse entry. In this situation, no refund or rescheduling will be offered.
Q: Can I bring my child?
Participants must be 11 years or older. Participants aged 11–17 must be able to work independently, handle ceramic pieces safely and follow the tutor’s instructions. This is an adult-paced workshop, not a children’s class.
Q: What happens if my class is cancelled by the studio?
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class due to low bookings or circumstances beyond our control. We will always make every effort to provide as much notice as possible. Our usual no-refund/no-rescheduling policy does not apply when a class is cancelled by us.

A rare and hidden pottery Eden in the heart of east London, Stoke Newington. Cernamic studio in Stoke Newington was founded, created, and built during the first lockdown of the pandemic, through hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. Nam and Susi two professional ceramicists run this fun and affordable pottery studio open for everyone from all walks of life.Nam Tran is an award-winning practitioner who gives lectures and demos at universities and exhibits internationally. A ceramic lecturer and head of the departments in design and multi-media with Kensington and Chelsea college. Nam specialises in wheel-thrown raku, bringing years of experience and craftsmanship to every object made.Tran's work is focused primarily on exploring the physical properties of clay and material experimentation is a strong characteristic of his work. He has been developing making enclosed forms that are much stronger than open forms and therefore resonates well with the alternative firing technique he uses. His work is dominated by thrown pieces that subtly echo the urban roots and conceptual design. Nam Tran first made pots as a teenager on a wheel in his own bedroom and remembers being captivated by the experience. With his unique alternatives methods and approach to ceramics, Nam Tran identifies rules and manipulates and bends them.
