"What an amazing series by Penny Byrne - a great experience learning Kintsugi from a master conservator." (name supplied 7/9/17)
"The course was exactly what I had been wanting to do for some years. I now have the tools and knowledge of appropriate glues to go ahead and repair many chipped and broken pieces in my collection. It was a relaxing time and I enjoyed the conversation and exchange of experiences within the group." (name supplied 31/8/17)
