Wonderful class really enjoyed it. Alexandra made me feel very relaxed and happy through the process.
Leslie Konhaeuser • Feb 2024
Such a beautiful class! Booked it for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary, and it was an awesome date night in!
Adrienne Brown • Feb 2024
Our teacher, Alexandra, went above and beyond to make this an exceptionally enjoyable experience. She kindly taught the history of Kintsugi and it's philosophy. She spent some extra time with us and kindly answered our questions. We will definitely book more classes with her
Jill Wolcott • Jan 2024
What a fun class! Easy but I felt I got lots of great information. Will practice before embarking on my “real” project. It is as relaxing as promised.
Jeannie Herbert • Jan 2024
There were 3 of us for a surprise birthday party celebration. We loved having the kits mailed to us ahead of time. One of Alexandra's cameras was set on a close up of her materials, and that was very helpful>
We enjoyed our time greatly. We didn't finish mending both sides, but Alexandra was gently reminding us that kinsugi is all about being patient and enjoying the repair process.
There are enough materials for us to do more on our own. Definitely would recommend to others! Jeannie H
Alana Simpson • Dec 2023
We enjoyed our Kintsugi class! It was great for our team because the philosophy can be applied to how we approach problems and 'broken' things at work.
Frances Downs • Dec 2023
The class was great. The personal attention and ability to interact with the artist was very helpful. The teacher was relaxed and took time to answer questions and encouraged me to enjoy the experience.
Melissa • Oct 2023
Engaging and relaxing class! Tools, setup, agenda was thoughtfully planned. Looking forward to practicing what I've learned.
Emma Herold • Oct 2023
The Kintsugi class with Alexandra was fantastic! She walked us through her background and a bit of context on Kintsugi, then guided as into our first Kintsugi project. The materials included everything we would need. One kit didn't arrive before the class which was due in part to my delay in sharing the addresses with Alexandra, but Alexandra still offered to give that person a complimentary lesson later on. Really enjoyed this experience and will definitely recommend it to my colleagues.

My mom and I took this class together and enjoyed ourselves immensely! It was great to understand the background and philosophy behind kintsugi. The lesson was lovely and kintsugi is definitely something we will continue to try! Thank you for the fun!
Jean Sheridan • Sep 2023
I really enjoyed the class the instructor was very knowledgeable, and willing shared history of the art, and the whys and wherefores of all the tools.
The included kit had everything I needed.
Rachel Salston • Aug 2023
I had so much fun! Alexandra was incredibly accommodating to my need to reschedule. I am going to take more kintsugi classes in the future!
Monnie Burdett • Jun 2023

Andrea Pell • Jun 2023
Great class! Alexandra was a wonderful teacher and we had a great time with our colleagues.
Kelly Faulkner • May 2023
Alexandra brought so much passion to this experience. Her knowledge in the art of Kintsugi enhanced the conversations we had while attempting to learn the art ourselves. My team and I had a blast and look forward to the next opportunity to try something new
Emma Noizumi • Apr 2023
We had a really fun time. Alexandra was super knowledgeable and the kits we received were thoughtfully put together. I can't wait to try out my kintsugi skills on a new project.
Evie Plofsky • Mar 2023
Very personable instructor, and educational session. Obviously well versed in the process and non judgmental on our skill level.
Holly Kreidler-Phaneuf • Dec 2022
Great class! Alexandra was knowledgeable and personable. She explained the kintsugi techique along with the history of the craft and the philosophy behind it. The class was a chance to try something new with full support of a seasoned artist.
Andrea Perez • Dec 2022
This was a great class! Alexandra was really helpful in explaining the history and giving feedback. Highly recommended.
Izabely Tandon • Dec 2022
I enjoyed this class and the meaning behind kintsugi! I definitely recommend you try it.
Jesus Ochoa • Oct 2022
Was very good at showing us each of the steps, and was very good at answering our questions. Enjoyed the class very much!
Rebecca Palacios • Mar 2022
This was such a fun and unique experience. I love crafting, and I found it very rewarding, not only making something whole again but also making it more interesting than before. The kit is so efficiently packaged and includes everything needed for the craft, including a practice broken piece. Alexandra was very engaging, and her passion for this craft is evident! I’m excited to continue practicing so that I can make a special broken item of my own new again!
Sally Zhang • Jan 2022
We had Alexandra teach us this for a corporate event. She was very knowledgeable and made the class very fun and engaging.
