Discover the art of Modern Kintsugi
At Sussex Kintsugi, we transform broken ceramics into something even more beautiful, inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—finding beauty in imperfection. Using modern, accessible materials, our welcoming pop-up workshops invite you to slow down, connect, and create. Whether you are new to Kintsugi or simply seeking something meaningful and creative, join us to embrace the broken and make something extraordinary.

Kintsugi Workshops
Our Modern Kintsugi workshops offer a creative and calming introduction to this traditional Japanese craft, held at welcoming venues across Sussex and Surrey.
​
We’re currently running sessions in Brighton, Reigate, and Eastbourne, with more locations to come - including our Prosecco Special Crafternoons, where creativity meets a sparkling social.
​
During the session, you’ll explore the philosophy behind Kintsugi, learn hands-on techniques, and repair a ceramic object (provided by us) using modern materials. Each workshop offers a peaceful, reflective space to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate the beauty of imperfections.
​
This is more than a craft class—it’s an experience that nurtures wellbeing, mindfulness, and a sense of renewal.
We supply all materials and protective equipment, so you can simply relax and enjoy the process. Prosecco in hand, if you choose our special crafternoon.
​
By the end, you’ll leave with your own beautifully restored ceramic piece—a unique reflection of transformation and healing.
​
We’re also available for private bookings at one of our venue or your own space—ideal for special occasions, team wellbeing sessions, or quiet creative gatherings. Enquire for details.
Join us and craft something special!
