Amazing experience doing this workshop😍
Sayuri and Maiba were amazing! So helpful and kind!
Mabia it’s amazing, nice esxperience
It was a really fun experience as a solo person, Mabia really made it fun and memorable, being very knowlodgeable in the topic, a quite capable lady and is very soft spoken and good instructor. Very easy to follow.
As I promised the manager my rating is based on the food recommendation - fantastic! Excellent ramen 😋 As for the activity, also fantastic. Everyone is super nice and you leave with a little art piece, what's to complain
It was alot of fun Alice H explained the history of kintsugi very well! The manager was very kind as well :) friendly staff, very welcoming and very warm about mistakes (I was unhappy with mine and they were very kind about it!)
Cool experience. Would definitely recommend. My instructor Alice was amazing and super patient
Great experience. We had a small class size so the instruction was very in depth and allowed for the perfectionists among us to make and fix our “mistakes”.
