Two days focused on delicate handbuilt forms, layered porcelain surfaces and developing confidence with this beautiful but challenging material.

Small group, lots of individual guidance, and a rare opportunity to learn directly from Justine in an intimate studio setting.

John has created a world within clay. 🤩

The textures tell one story, while the glazes tell another - from earthy, volcanic surfaces to pools of crystalline blue that sparkle in the sunlight.

This piece has a really striking organic, almost geological feel to it. The turquoise centre, earthy browns, crater-like textures and coral-inspired forms make it look like a miniature landscape, reef or aerial view of an unknown planet.

Great work John. 👏

The Japanese art of making cracks beautiful.

Most people would see a broken bowl.

Kintsugi invites us to see something else: a story worth preserving.

We spent the afternoon carefully repairing broken bowls, embracing imperfections and celebrating the beauty found in mending.

Send this to someone who needs a reminder that imperfect doesn’t mean ruined.

If you would like to experience Kintsugi for yourself, we’ll be running another workshop on the 25th October. Workshop details are available on our website in our bio.
