- Kintsugi is a mindful, meditative art form that celebrates the beauty in imperfection.

lady_magpie2 Aw what a fabulous way to spend Sunday morning! I thoroughly enjoyed this session, I had no idea of what kintsugi is, so this was a great taster session to discover it. I highly recommend giving this a go. Amelia is a fantastic tutor, very welcoming and friendly. I'm already looking forward to her return to the Beacon at Whitehaven 😍
