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.
