Join a creativity workshop for making Kintsugi, the Japanese art of finding/showcasing beauty in brokenness.
About this Event

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, silver, or platinum, and dates back to the late 15th century. In mental health spaces, the process of brokenness and repair can be one marked by beauty and meaning.

Schedule

  • Overview of the Kintsugi-making process, including instructions and a description of materials and tools
  • Hands-on exercise using pieces of broken pottery, in which participants are led through the process of repair and decoration
  • Personal stories and processing, which includes opportunities for sharing narratives and connecting authentically, all within the safety of a professionally-facilitated group

We provide:

  • Brief lesson and historical background on Kintsugi-making
  • Guided interactive disucssion
  • All art materials
  • A take-home Kintsugi-making kit to practice with at home

No need to bring anything!
