Kay was exceptionally welcoming and patient throughout the session. The Kintsugi class was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it.

Had an excellent time during our session with Kat. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I learned about the history of kintsugi, Kat's inspirations, and even how to maintain a paintbrush! Kat is really passionate about the art, and that passion made the experience more meaningful because I could resonate with her energy.

Loved the class!! Our teacher was fantastic! 8 people / everyone seemed chill and calm, and it made for a very lovely afternoon. We learned about kintsugi and about our teacher while working on our project - highly recommend the class

What a lovely class and practice! This was a perfect intimate class where we each came away with learned a philosophical art, learned about each other, and came away with something beautiful and unique to each of us. What a treat. Kat is a marvelous and encouraging instructor and it felt very personal to her story to instruct us on this method. Thank you, Kat! Highly recommend!

Kate’s class was excellent! I initially reached out asking about commissioning her to repair a sentimental piece that we lost in the Altadena/Eaton Fire; however, Kat encouraged me to take her hands-on class so that I could learn to do the work myself. Beyond the technical, I found the experience to be healing and restorative. I’m glad Kat encouraged me to take on the work myself. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who has experienced a loss of a sentimental or meaningful piece to take Kat’s class, you will be so glad you did. My tile has been repaired, and I love that it’s imperfectly perfect. Thank you Kat.

Kat could not have been lovelier and the class was really informative and fun.

A magical afternoon. Kat shared not just technique but the spirit underlying kintsugi. Her instruction was very clear and complete and by the end of the session everyone in the class had made something beautiful out of what began as broken shards. And shared a serene atmosphere and experience. Highly recommend!

This was such an amazing class. We learned about the modernization of traditional Kintsugi methods, in addition to what the traditional methods are.
The learning experience was hands-on—learning-by-doing—which is how I learn best. Kat, the teacher, explained the historical context of the art form, and the emotional/mental approach to doing the work.
There is an additional video, suggested for students to watch, from a Kintsugi Master that serves as a pre-class introduction. I highly recommend Kat and her class.
The learning environment was lovely and comfortable. Though the attendees did not all know each other beforehand, they were able to interact with each other easily and openly as the class progressed.
I loved the process of getting to a (re)finished piece. I am now obsessed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class with my nephew, which I gave him as a belated graduation gift. It was such a special and meaningful experience for us to share together!
Kat was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the art of kintsugi. I loved hearing about her own journey, what she has learned from her mentors, and how she has taken this ancient art and added a modern twist that makes the experience reflective, thoughtful, creative, and very enjoyable.
Kat puts so much care into preparing her students and takes the extra time to guide and support you through each step of the process. You can really tell how much she loves what she does!
We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and walked away with our own kintsugi pieces and a special memory together. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful experience!

Highly recommend this class. Kat is very knowledgeable and walks you through the process step by step. Everything is well organized, and you will leave the class with a completed piece. Kat creates a calm space that supports creativity, and the small class size is a plus. I enjoyed it so much I will take another class in the future.
