Very nice workshop Béatrice is top notch, both in her presentation of the art of kintsugi and in her practical guidance. You'll need an apron and a cartridge mask.

Great kintsugi workshop with Béatrice. She takes the time to explain the history and philosophy of the technique before moving on to practice, which makes the experience even more interesting. The steps are well guided and accessible, even for beginners. The atmosphere is friendly and the venue very pleasant. A great time!

Top. Super educational person, who began by explaining the history of the technique and the whys and wherefores, before actually starting the workshop. Workshop accessible to all, special dedication to the sanding part :-)

Great time spent with Béatrice in a charming venue in the heart of the 19th arrondissement. Béatrice passed on her taste (and techniques) for Kintsugi in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Great activity with a great teacher who is very kind, funny and attentive. She takes the time to guide you individually through each step and to go at your own pace, all in a great atmosphere of fun and good humor. It was a great activity and a great time spent in her company. Go for it with your eyes closed!

Entertaining and culturally interesting workshop through the trainer's stories. Small workshop in a leafy corner of the 19th arrondissement. Only one mini-recommendation: put on some very soft background music to fill the moments of silence and concentration!

Count yourself in on the history of Kintsugi. Beatrice takes the time to accompany and advise participants in small groups, all in an atypical and exotic setting.

This workshop was very rewarding, we learned a lot of things and not only about the Kinstugi. The atmosphere is great, and the fact that there are only 4 students means that Béatrice can help and advise us to achieve a very fine result. Many thanks to our sensei for her kindness and infectious good humor.
