Recent reviews of Modern Kintsugi Workshop and Guided Meditation - NY
- 5/5 from Li Lake, attended Dec 2025: This Kintsugi workshop was the perfect respite from the daily hustle of New York City. Our instructor guided us through a simple, yet meaningful modern method of Kintsugi. I appreciated the straightforward approach and the humor infused into the discussion of Zen Buddhism and this reverent ritual. I would like to come to a longer class so I can apply more layers of the gold powder but Josh gave some of us extra materials to continue at home. A highly recommended experience for anyone looking for a moment of quiet reflection and mindful creation in the city!
- 5/5 from Penelope Harper, attended Dec 2025: I signed up for this Kintsugi class because I wanted to learn the skill to repair my broken ceramics at home. The workshop provided a simple and clear modern method for the repair, as well as a fun meditation. The space was minimal and clean, and they had an ambient soundtrack for our special class. I also appreciated that the class attracted neighbors in the Greenpoint area, making it feel like a nice local gathering. Highly recommended for a useful, mindful, and community-focused activity.
