Really fun workshop!! Taku the instructor was very helpful and informative, teaching us about kintsugi. It was so fun to follow along and make our own kintsugi plate.

Though we got list and arrived 15 minutes late, Master Taku was gracious and welcoming. My friend was perspiring profusely and he picked up a laminated card and fanned her to cool down!
He’s a wonderfully calm and encouraging teacher, who knows his craft well. Lived the session! My first time and am anxious to start at home!

Great experience! Learned Japanese tradition of making broken pottery perfect again. Taku was very patient and helpful with our children, 5 and 7 years old, and the instructional videos were great to follow along as well. Highly recommend!

This was such a fun, intense experience. My husband had no idea what we were going to do. We both really loved it. We came away with two pieces to give to our daughters for them to treasure. It may seem pricy, but it was well worth it. Don’t forget to get a small piece on a chain from the bowls near the back as an extra souvenir for leaving a review. Master Taku is superb at explaining each step. Wish I could do this at home.

This was such a fun workshop and provided a genuine Japanese souvenir to treasure and remember our trip. Taku was excellent in his instruction, encouragement and assistance to ensure you took home some beautiful kintsugi. Taku’s boots were AWESOME!
