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.
