Kuyo and Atip were fantastic! They made our plate repair experience great. They explained the process well, taught a little of the history and helped personalize it as well. Wonderful experience! Would do again
Very friendly and fun activity. Kuya was very helpful. Also Atip was very helpful and wrote Kanji on the plates for us.
Kuya was knowledgable, friendly and welcoming. Great teacher
An incredible, peaceful experience with our guide Kuya. He had excellent insurrections and made the experience very personal. Would do again.
very fun experience! kuya was very helpful!
Fun Momoka was our guide and she was great to be around and helped a lot with the process. Also my title is miss leading I like calling everything evil :)
Very good experience. Learnt about the history of kinsugi from Momoka and could pick a dish from a good selection and add whatever design you like. Worth doing!
This experience is AWESOME!! The perfect way to spend an hour or so with my family. Everyone enjoyed it immensely and allowed every member of our family to be creative and make something that we can take home and enjoy forever. Mabia, our artistic guide, was phenomenal in explaining the history behind the process. Would HIGHLY recommend for young and old alike!
