About Workshop
Art of Kintsugi – Mindful Japanese art of mending and way of giving a new life to broken objects.
Kintsugi is a century-old Japanese craft where broken ceramic objects are pieced back together using ancient Urushi 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 4.5 hours step by step hands-on workshop, you will learn the fundamental skill of Art Kintsugi method, following the principal of traditional Kintsugi utilizing more accessible alternative materials which enable us to complete the process within the class.
At the end of the class, you will take home a piece of your Kintsugi art and skill to start your own repair project at home.
We will talk about the history of Kintsugi and philosophy as well as some case study discussions.
All tools and materials to use in the workshop are included.
