Book via WhatsAppWhat is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Instead of disguising the damage, the golden seams draw attention to it — the breakage becomes part of the object’s history rather than the end of its life.
At its heart it is a philosophy closely tied to wabi-sabi: a way of embracing imperfection and finding strength in resilience. It is why a Kintsugi session tends to feel less like a craft class and more like an hour of quiet, deliberate attention.
We host specialised Kintsugi workshops so you can learn this delicate craft firsthand, in a calm and supportive space, and leave with something you made yourself.

What you’ll experience
Every session is guided from start to finish. You do not need any background in pottery, art or Japanese craft — the pace is set so beginners can follow comfortably.
Settle in
We start slowly. You choose your piece, and we walk through what Kintsugi is and why the cracks are left visible.
Join the pieces
Guided step by step, you align and bond the broken fragments — the part that asks for patience more than skill.
Finish in gold
The seams are traced in gold so every repair becomes the most striking part of the object rather than a flaw.
Take it home
Your restored piece leaves with you the same day, along with care notes for looking after it.
Who can join a Kintsugi workshop?
Kintsugi suits anyone who wants to slow down and make something with their hands. Most people who join have never tried it before.
- Complete beginners — no prior experience needed, every step is demonstrated.
- Friends, couples and small groups looking for a calmer alternative to the usual weekend plan.
- Private gatherings — birthdays, celebrations and get-togethers we curate around your group.
- Corporate teams using the session as a team-building or wellness format.
Upcoming Kintsugi workshops
Kintsugi sessions run regularly in Bengaluru, most often as weekend café editions. Because venues and dates are confirmed per session, we share live availability directly rather than publishing a fixed schedule. See what is coming up on the upcoming workshops calendar, or message us for this month’s dates.
Planning for a team instead? Our corporate workshops in Bangalore include Kintsugi as a team-building format, hosted at your office or a venue we arrange.
What you’ll take home
You leave with the piece you restored during the session — a bowl or cup whose gold seams make the repair the most interesting thing about it. All tools and materials are included, so there is nothing to buy or bring.
Guests often tell us the piece becomes a reminder long after the workshop, which is usually the point.
