Kintsugi Pottery Repair Workshop: Embrace Imperfection
Discover the beauty of Modern Kintsugi in this hands-on workshop, where you’ll repair broken pottery with highlighted golden seams. Originating in Japan, Kintsugi—meaning “golden joinery”—transforms cracks into unique, beautiful lines, celebrating flaws as part of an object’s history.
In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll restore ceramics using modern, accessible materials while honouring the essence of the traditional craft. Guided step by step, you’ll piece together broken pottery, mix epoxy with bronze powder, and refine golden seams to create a stunning, meaningful work of art.
By the end of the session, you’ll take home your own Kintsugi piece—a symbol of resilience and renewal. Perfect for creatives, makers, and anyone who appreciates finding beauty in the unexpected. Join us and experience the art of golden repair!

  • 5/5 from Christine Clayton, attended Aug 2025: Absolutely fabulous! We transformed a bowl that had been broken into pieces into a work of art! Andri was a very informative, very professional and patient tutor. She was helped by Yula who was very attentive. All materials, aprons & gloves were provided. Tea/coffee, biscuits & chocolates were provided. Great Venue, easy to find & free parking. I would recommend this class to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Jo Ferry, attended Aug 2025: Hi just returned from my workshop and am so pleased with my Kintsugi bowl. Andri & Yula were very helpful and hands-on with us at all times. A very satisfied participant. Now just have to decide where to keep it safe but on show.
  • 5/5 from Julie Potter, attended Aug 2025: Excellent instruction on how to "mend" the pot and the history behind Kintsugi. Would highly recommend the class.
  • 5/5 from Irene Basley, attended Aug 2025: I found the session held at the community centre in Reigate on Saturday 30th August very interesting, infact it was engrossing. The topic was pertinent not just to the adult learning classes I attend in pottery but any one with a broken pot. The equipment provided was more than adequate and the advice and support given during the practical session outstanding. You can be assured I will be feeding back during my sessions to my tutor and recommending the session to my fellow learners. Many thanks I learnt a lot.
  • 5/5 from Jane O'Brien Afiq, attended Aug 2025: This was a great opportunity to learn about modern Kintsugi and some of the principles behind it. We each came away with a lovely bowl as a memory of the experience. We found the teaching really clear & easy to follow and appreciated the hands on support when we needed it. Would recommend!!! Thanks, Jane
  • 5/5 from Margaret Burn, attended Aug 2025: It was a fun workshop. All materials were supplied and the tutors were very supportive throughout. I enjoyed the session and would be happy to recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Kintsugi.
  • 5/5 from Penny Fenton, attended Aug 2025: My daughter & I had a wonderful time at Kintsugi Experience. Andi is a lovely host and took us through the history and philosophies behind Kintsugi before we started on our bowls. Andi is very friendly and patient and talks you through the Kintsugi process step by step. We both love our Kingtsugi bowls. Totally recommend!

  • 5/5 from Julie Payne, attended Jun 2025: My daughter bought the class as my Birthday present. I certainly wasn't disappointed. We watched a slide show to learn a little of the 15th century tradition and then onto creating our Kintsugi bowls. I totally loved the whole process. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Clare Fuller, attended May 2025: Really enjoyed this class. Great teacher, very patient and helpful. Got to practice on a piece of pottery and repair something of my own too. Would highly recommend
