Modern Kintsugi Workshop – Full Repair Process
This workshop is held at a charming cottage in Venice. Easy street parkings are available.
In this class, you’ll learn the complete modern Kintsugi process, stabilizing broken pieces, filling cracks and gaps, and refining the repair with beautiful gold details. It’s a detailed, restoration-focused class, not just decorating surface cracks. You’ll work with a curated selection of handpicked ceramics—pieces with a history alongside new Japanese ceramics, so you can choose what speaks to you.

  • 5/5 from Angela Kerendian, attended Jan 2026: Emi is a great teacher and we really enjoyed learning about this ancient art. She added a lot of details to the experience. Super fun!
  • 5/5 from Annette Hung, attended Jan 2026: We had a wonderful and deeply meaningful experience at this kintsugi workshop. My loved ones and I not only enjoyed the hands-on process, but also found many lessons that resonated with us and felt applicable life and beyond the class. Emi was an exceptional host and instructor. She demonstrated genuine hospitality, patience, and kindness throughout the workshop, and her instructions were clear and easy to follow. She took the time to assist each participant, ensuring everyone felt supported and could create a beautiful piece. The ceramics provided were lovely, and all materials were thoughtfully prepared and supplied. Before booking, Emi was very responsive and answered all of my questions thoroughly, which gave me confidence in planning the experience. Her preparation was meticulous — she even ensured the room comfortably accommodated our group of 12. Her passion for kintsugi truly shines through, and she generously shares her deep knowledge and appreciation for the art. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a meaningful, well-organized, and inspiring experience.

Hi! I’m Emi. I was born in Seto City, Aichi, one of Japan’s oldest pottery towns, known for its rich ceramic history and craftsmanship.
I grew up in my grandmother’s hillside home, surrounded by traditional Japanese climbing kilns (noborigama) and generations of pottery-making traditions. Ceramics have always been a part of my life, and my love for Japanese craftsmanship began there.
In 2024, I returned to Japan to study traditional Kintsugi under a Kintsugi master for approximately ten months. Since then, I’ve continued returning to Japan every summer to deepen my knowledge and refine my skills through advanced Kintsugi training.
“Kintsugi gave me back something I didn’t know I had lost. It’s more than repairing what is broken—it’s about rediscovering beauty, strength, and a sense of wholeness.”
Now based in Los Angeles, I share my passion for Kintsugi through my artwork and hands-on workshops. My beginner-friendly modern Kintsugi classes offer a welcoming introduction to this beautiful Japanese tradition, using accessible materials. No prior experience is needed.
For me, Kintsugi is about more than restoring broken ceramics. It’s also about bringing people together.
In a world where we spend so much time looking at screens, I believe there’s something special about gathering around a table, creating something with our hands, sharing stories, and connecting with one another.
My hope is that you leave my workshop with more than a beautifully mended piece. I hope you take home a meaningful experience, a new connection, and a fresh appreciation for the beauty of imperfection.
I look forward to meeting you, hearing your stories, and sharing a little piece of Japan with you.
