The Kintsugi workshop is unique as it explores the age-old Japanese art of repairing. Instead of concealing flaws, Kintsugi accentuates and celebrates them, transforming the restored piece into a unique and beautiful work of art. Participants not only acquire a craft skill but also gain a valuable lesson in embracing imperfections and discovering beauty in resilience.

I surprised my girlfriend with this workshop for her birthday and it was the perfect experience! Annelies gave a lot of guidance throughout and we came away with some really great results too. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique creative activity and with steady hands ;)

It was an amazing experience learn and work with Annelies. She is a very heartwarming person and makes the art experience in Italy very special. She gives you the space to develop your on creativity. You totally explore a creative side of yourself. The kintsugi workshop was a very inspiring workshop. Destroying and healing a piece was special. The golden glue is a beautiful detail in your own art. I can highly recommend a workshop with Annelies. She inspires you and makes the day a special one. Enjoy the time!

Atmosphere was very nice, teacher is very creative and knowledgable. We started off with a very beautiful interlude where she connected this Kintsugi technique with innergrowth, which gave the piece we worked on soul. “The cracks become golden scars” she said, this really touched me as it makes you look different at “scars” ;) thanks for this amazing experience!

We had high expectations of the workshop but never would have thought it was so much fun. You start with smashing plates, or a vase, or some cup and saucer into pieces which is sensational to do, although a bit scary too.
How to put those pieces together again?! But it works. Thanks to Annelies who told us to be patient and careful, but also to not be afraid of the imperfections in life. So, yes, indeed, we had some new valuable insights too!
Not only about the art of imperfection, but also, for instance, what scars could mean. It gives you for sure a different look at things around you in daily life. And to have an eye for the beauty in common things.

We had this kintsugi workshop in the centro historico of Acqui Terme!
A very peaceful ambiance where we could fully concentrate on putting the pieces of ceramic together again.
It was fun doing that, piece by piece, but also quite educational.
The two hours flew by with a lot of laughter and a lot of inspiration too.
Seeing the results of each other was great.
After the workshop we had a drink on one of the terraces nearby with most of the other participants joining.
So it also appears to be a nice way to meet people with the same interests! Would recommend to everyone!!!

Awesome workshop!
Annelies is very skilled, knowledgeable and patiently explains everything. She was also encouraging to every participant.
Because Annelies pays a lot of attention to every detail, you really learn so much about Kintsugi and the deeper meaning of it, you will have an unforgettable time!
Would love to come back again for another workshop!

I’ve always supported the idea that is better to repair than throw away and combined with my fascination with the Japanese culture, I was happy to have found Annelies and her workshop offering Kintsugi. This is a beautiful art form, going much deeper than just the physical act of repair. That’s thanks to the wonderful spirit of Annelies who will guide you with knowledge, kindness, care and patience - much needed in my case since I overachieved in breaking my bowl into more pieces than anticipated. I guess it’s the greek in me - we are awfully good at smashing plates! 🤭 I highly recommend this workshop for any and of all ages, for friends and family to do together or privately. You will not be disappointed and go home with much more than a new skill, but an appreciation for the art of restoration. 🌸
