A very soothing and interesting workshop! Océane is very friendly and helpful, first explaining the origins of kintsugi and then the various steps involved. This workshop gives us a first idea of what the complete process can be, done "by the book". I'm delighted with the time I spent working on my cup and have very fond memories of the whole thing. Thank you so much!

A fascinating activity, very well organized: a little history and a lot of practice. We leave with our object repaired and sublimated. Océane accompanies us with passion.

Kintsugi workshop offered for my birthday... and what a nugget! 🌟 Océane is a passionate, caring and inspiring curator/restorer guide. She immerses us in the world of Kintsugi with a true culture of Japanese art. I loved discovering this practice, creating with my hands, learning, feeling... and meeting Océane with her story and her generosity. A moment out of time that I 100% recommend!
