Introduction to Kintsugi Workshop:

Come and learn the mindful art of Japanese pottery repair at a Kintsugi workshop at Maxability pottery studio in North West London.

Classes available upon request on Saturdays throughout April and May.

Review by A. Shah from March 2026 *****

"Had a great first session and experience of Kintsugi Art. We had two Lovely teachers - session was led by Jo.

Three friends celebrated our 50th by doing something different. We all managed to finish out pieces using the gold paint and all the pieces looked unique.

Thank you again! We will be back again".
