Join us for this 2.5-hour workshop, where you will embrace the beauty of imperfection and experience the ancient art of Kintsugi. This immersive experience is designed to help you fully understand the authentic Kintsugi repair art, using all-natural materials like urushi lacquer and metal powder. By the end of the session, you’ll not only have added golden seams to a lovely chopstick rest but also gained a deep, hands-on understanding of this time-honored technique.
