1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

Discover the beauty of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of embracing imperfection and giving broken objects a new life.

In this hands-on workshop in Kyoto, you'll learn about the philosophy and history behind Kintsugi while creating your own unique piece to take home.

With step-by-step guidance from our friendly instructor, you'll experience the process of joining and decorating broken pottery, highlighting its cracks rather than hiding them. No previous experience is needed, making this workshop perfect for beginners.

Kintsugi is more than a craft. It reflects a uniquely Japanese way of seeing beauty — appreciating an object's history, imperfections, and transformation instead of trying to make it look untouched.

At the end of the experience, you'll take home a one-of-a-kind piece created by your own hands and a meaningful reminder of your time in Japan.
