Great experience! The kintsugi workshop was both creative and soothing. I discovered a new technique while sharing a real moment of conviviality with Akitsu and the other students. Thank you for this discovery.

We had a great time. The workshop took place in a very pleasant and caring atmosphere. The artist explained all the steps in detail, as we went along. We learned a lot, it was very interesting and we didn't see the time go by. The artist was very attentive to detail and offered us personalized guidance. It was truly a unique experience!

A very warm welcome from Akitsu, who transmits his art of kintsugi in a warm atmosphere. 1st step for me and there will be more! For those who are impatient, kintsugi requires several sessions of work... You can leave with a technical sheet to try your hand... but the best thing is to go through the different stages with Akitsu's guidance...

I was lucky enough to receive a voucher for a kintsugi workshop as a birthday present. I was delighted to take part in this workshop. Akitsu creates an extremely warm, gentle and precious space for meeting and learning. It was great! Thank you, Akitsu.

No philosophical notion, too expensive to fill cracks and clean brushes.

I attended this 2-hour workshop, which was supposed to end with me taking my finished piece home, only to learn on the day that I had to pay for sessions 2 or 3 times.
