Art Kintsugi introductory workshop.
Weekdays morning or after work, in Potts Point or in your own place.
This is a small group workshop in my private studio in Potts Point.
We can also organise a group workshop up to 10 people in your appointed venue, Sydney, regional NSW or interstates.
Please email to discuss about your workshop.
In this 4 hours, step by step hands-on workshop, you will learn the Art Kintsugi method, following the principle of ancient Kintsugi but utilising more accessible alternative materials which enable us to complete the process within the class.
Please note that we will be using alternative materials such as resin and gold metal powder (not 24k gold)
A small ceramic piece to repair will be prepared for the workshop.
The process includes the repair of damaged pieces (broken, cracked, missing fragments), preparation of the surface, and then a decorative finish with Japanese lacquer and gold metal powder.
At the end of the relaxing class, you will take home a Kintsugi art piece you create.

About Workshop
Kintsugi is a century-old Japanese craftwork where broken ceramic objects are pieced back together using lacquer and gold dust based on the philosophy of Wabi Sabi finding beauty in imperfection.
The process transforms much loved, worn items into a beautifully crafted, new piece of art. It is a chance to live a more sustainable way and to rescue objects which would otherwise be discarded.
In this relaxed 3.5 hours workshop, you will learn the introductory technique of “Art Kintsugi” mending following 7 essential steps using modern accessible materials and bring home a piece of your own Kintsugi art.
Class is suitable over 18 years old.
Not suitable if you are pregnant
We will prepare a piece of ceramic suitable for the introductory workshop.
Should you wish to repair your own items, please email Yoko to discuss about the process.
