Art Kintsugi workshop. In this step by step hands-on workshop, you will learn the fundamental skill of Art Kintsugi method, following the principal of ancient Kintsugi utilising more accessible alternative materials which enable us to complete the process within the class and safely.
At the end of the class, you will take home a piece of your own Kintsugi art and be able to repair your own items.
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.
Class is suitable over 18 years old.
Not suitable if you are pregnant
You will be repairing a ceramic item we prepare for the class and take home when finish.
