Sip & Paint getting stale?Â
Learn about this Japanese Craft while enjoying Craft Sake!Â
Prepare for an extraordinary adventure with our Kanpai & Kintsugi. Imagine a setting where the artistry of Kintsugi, the practice of mending broken pottery with gold, merges seamlessly with the joy of sake tasting.
Here, you won't just attend a class. You'll celebrate the unique beauty found in imperfection, as you live in the moment, sipping sake, taking shattered objects, and turning them into  works of art.
It's more than just a class. Embrace the present moment and celebration of resilience. With Kanpai & Kintsugi!
