Overview
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending shattered pottery with lacquer that’s often dusted with gold. Learn about the traditional art’s history and try your hand at it in this class, where you’ll sprinkle 23K gold onto lacquer. As a bonus, the workshop is also held in a traditional Japanese building with wooden architecture that’s worth exploring after class.

Loved the experience
sashipi, Aug 2025
Josuke was very passionate and knowledgeable about kintsugi. He was super friendly and showed us a new way to appreciate everything in not just ceramics, but in life as well. We were able to take home a piece that we helped to create to remember this experience forever. We even got to make matcha, which was also very fun! His workshop was a really unique, traditional Japanese space and he had pieces for sale in his gallery as well. Thank you for the memorable experience Josuke!
Amazing instructor
