Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Participating in a cultural tradition

Reviewed by: Alaska

We thoroughly enjoyed our kintsugi lesson with Kuge Crafts. In a snug little studio our class of four students were charmed by the instructor husband and wife team. The lesson was well planned and timed. We chose our small nicked vessels from an array of antique cups and immediately set about repairing and decorating them with golden lacquer. The results were so pleasing. and well-packed for travel home.

Kintsugi Class in Tokyo - Hands-On Pottery Repair with Gold Powder

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Traveling fan

This class was a highlight of our trip. My 18 yo daughter and 21 yo son also enjoyed the kintsugi experience very much. Class was just the 3 of us, was very well run and we were able to do all steps of the repair process. Our still wet teacups were packaged very well and came home in one piece without shifting out of place.

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Wonderful even for the unexcited ones!

Reviewed by: Cass

My 80 year old father was just going to humor me, but the lovely couple who run Kuge crafts won him over instantly. They were just wonderful and so willing to share their love of kintsugi. We were greeted with beautiful snacks and tea and were able to pick our item from a selection. We were then told how old our items were. Ours were from the Edo period. We got right to work repairing the miniature chips, it’s a beginner class! Our cups turned out so beautiful and my father surprisingly got very into decorating his! He said it was his favorite activity we’d done in our two week trip. I can’t wait to come back for another visit! They also gave us a very helpful list of all the items needed to do this at home. I was able to get everything at Hands and can’t wait to attempt this again.
Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon!

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Delightful!!

Reviewed by: Carolee

I spent a lovely couple of hours learning about and trying my hand at kintsugi with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko. They make quite a team!

We received snacks to start and tea throughout. We choose from among a dozen chipped cups to repair and then walked through the process at a leisurely pace. They sent us home with enough information (plus a tiny custom brush) to try repairs at home.

Kintsugi can be a much more creative craft than I realized. I highly recommend this class for both the interaction Y. and Y. and the activity.

Tips and suggestions

Getting to the shop can be a challenge. Allow plenty of time.

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa

Group of 6 from Hawaii glass etching experience

Reviewed by: Char

We were concerned about doing this….as it is described as “glass etching”. Something we have not done ever in our life, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the process. The instructor took us step by step to explain the technique of glass etching and he was to patient and calm during the whole process. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends and family. It was just steps outside of the Asakusa train Station….so convenient.

Kintsugi Class in Tokyo - Hands-On Pottery Repair with Gold Powder

Wonderful, memorable experience

Reviewed by: Katie

Toshie Masubuchi was a wealth of knowledge in Kintsugi, as well as being a warm and detailed teacher throughout the lesson. This was my first time engaging in this art form and Toshi was prepared to teach with detailed handouts (in English), thorough verbal descriptions and visual hands-on examples at each step.

She welcomed me into her art space with a hot cup of tea on a cold morning and was patient and helpful during the entire lesson. I will treasure the memories of this class and recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo.

最高でした！

Reviewed by: 菊千代

模様を入れるグラスは、おちょこからロックグラスまで６種類の形から選ぶことができて、追加代金で色付きのグラスにすることもできます。模様のサンプルもたくさんあり、迷ってしまうぼどでした。まずは練習のグラスで機械に慣れて削り方を学んでから、いざ本番。緊張しましたー！集中していたので時間もあっという間、最後は出来上がったグラスを持って記念撮影できます。体験だけでも十分楽しめますが、今回は体験前に30分の講座付きのプランにして、ガラス細工の歴史や江戸切子とは？を説明してもらいました。多少なりとも知識をつけてから製作したので、気持ちが入りました。講座も体験もとても丁寧に教えてくれ、大満足です！

難しい模様を選んでしまうと、ちょっと失敗した時のリカバリーが大変なので、作成しやすい模様を選んだほうが良いと思いました！

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Alessandra

My partner and I were excited to engage in a traditional activity during our trip to Japan. We stumbled on Kuge Crafts on a prominent publication and decided to book, and we were not disappointed. The owners, who have been practising this craft for 40+ years, welcomed us into their home with tea and Japanese treats. The class was an intimate one, with only 4 people at a time, allowing for a more personal experience and ability to ask lots of questions and get a hands on experience. The activity was not rushed, the ceramics provided were very interesting and antique, and they even provided proper packaging to survive the trip home!

I enjoyed a delightful afternoon with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko in their studio. They were so welcoming, treating us to delicious tea and cake as the Kintsugi workshop started. They were extremely helpful, showing us how to do each step but ensuring that we actually did our own project. They also provided detailed information on the materials we would need to buy in order to do our own Kintsugi repairs at home. I highly recommend this workshop!

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Incredibly fun, soothing and addictive

Reviewed by: kt

The class was incredibly fun and informative, and taught by two very patient and knowledgeable instructors. They were welcoming, and immediately made us feel right at home. Neither my husband nor I are very creative, but they were very supportive and encouraging and we had a very fun afternoon. The activity itself was very soothing and relaxing. It was also very clear that they are very proud of their craft and hope to see people continue to try it at home, as they showed us the exact product to buy if we wanted to continue to practice. They even told us it would be OK if we reached out after the class if we had any questions, and to email them pictures of things we are working on should we try kintsugi at home. Highly, highly recommend this class :)
