This kintsugi experience in Tokyo is perfectly suited for beginners. All the equipment you need is provided — including a broken plate! Then the kintsugi experience really begins as you carefully use lacquer and powdered gold to repair the plate. The small group size means you’ll get the instructor’s full attention and have a personal experience. Another thing worth noting is that the venue is both wheelchair and stroller accessible.
NOTE: The minimum booking number is two adults. Also, the studio does not allow you to bring your own broken ceramics.
