Kintsugi Workshop "The Art Of Imperfection"

The Kintsugi workshop was a great experience. Puzzling and slowly creating something beautiful and unique. The location is very interesting and Annelies is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Annelies was very nice and welcoming. We had a fun time learning about kintsugi and will definitely be applying it to something at home. She had items that we broke for the activity and it proabablyneoukdve been fun to bring one of our own to fix. Definitely would recommend!

Attended the Kintsugi workshop with Annelies Nuy in Amsterdam. Annelies is a arrogant artist who thinks she is "mindful" but she is anything but, thinking she is superior to others. She made totally inappropriate remarks, raised her voice and ruined the entire experience. We left the workshop in full frustration...

Great workshop in a really cool, creative setting with a supportive environment and teacher. Enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it!

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!

I enjoyed the workshop. A wonderful location and we have been great introduced to the workshop. Annelise is an inspiring person. Thanks!

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!

Great experience! The Kintsugi workshop is very nice, special and friendly. You can tell that Annelies has put a lot of effort, love and attention into this. Can definitely recommend!

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. 🌸

It was a great session for me and my husband. Also a different experience from other workshops that we attented. Great insight! A big thanks to Annelies for sharing and filling with knowledge of abstract painting! Thank you so much! Will definitely recommand this workshop

Annelies is very kind, very friendly and easy-going, she makes you feel immediately at ease and guides you in this unique art. Highly recommended (Good knowledge of English is recommended)
