Pippa’s Kintsugi artwork is featured in issue 42 of the internationally renowned UPPERCASE magazine.

Kintsugi is part of the Japanese tradition of wabi-sabi, an appreciation of the perfectly imperfect things in life. Each course is held in a beautiful and calming environment, and includes some delicious treats!

In this wabi-sabi inspired class you will work with real gold to repair stunning ceramic pieces that you can take home as treasured momentos at the end of the day.”

“Pippa’s Kintsugi course was very interesting and informative about this ancient craft. The materials provided were plentiful. Pippa’s enthusiasm and passion for the art were infectious and she was so helpful in allowing us to get the most out of the session. Follow up by email on access to materials to continue at home was very welcome, The delicious home-baked cakes made by Pippa for break time were an added bonus. Thank you.”

“I was searching for a craft course & came across this. It instantly appealed to me. Pippa delivered the course in an easy & relaxed way that was easy to follow. I enjoyed every moment from beginning to end & left feeling inspired to explore some techniques learned further.
Thank you, Pippa.”

Kathryn

“A superb course with such a simple yet profound philosophy of mending something broken in a beautiful, delicate way. I loved that we had the opportunity to continue the theme in different ways – pottery, paper, thread… Pippa is so enthusiastic and a great teacher. Thoughtful extras like envelopes for cards, the little sewing kit, a bag, tissue paper. I would love to do a follow on course.”

Andrea

“Absolutely every aspect of the day was wonderful. The course surpassed my expectations in every way. As someone who is not at all artistic, Pippa’s teaching style and meticulous attention to detail in the preparation of resources ensured that I felt really delighted with the art work I produced. The pace of the day was just right and the amazing cakes provided as part of the experience were above and beyond what I think any of us expected. I have come home feeling thoroughly uplifted and inspired. Thank you!”

“I wasn’t blessed with being good at art but that didn’t matter at all. Pippa is such a fabulous artist herself and a great teacher too. She enabled me to make something beautiful and learn about an age old art. The venue was stunning and the workshop a real joy. Can’t wait for the next one.”

Rachael

“Attended Pippa’s Kintsugi course last week. Really enjoyed learning this form of art. Came home with three different pieces that I can display. Would certainly recommend this.”

Dawn

“We joined Pippa’s Kintsugi class for a hen party activity last weekend and the whole group had a fantastic time. We were treated to hot drinks and homemade sweet treats on arrival before Pippa taught us the principles of Kintsugi, so that we could apply these to our own creations. She was a clear, patient teacher and was very supportive of the things we produced. To make the hen party even more special, Pippa’s friend added some sparkle by beautifully painting our faces with intricate glittery patterns. Best of all, the bride-to-be was thrilled with the whole experience. Thank you so much Pippa!”
