Kintsugi: The Full Repair Process

The intricate process of Kintsugi will be taught through hands-on instruction in a classroom setting.

Each participant will have the opportunity to work on ceramic fragments (practice pieces) at different stages of Kintsugi during the session. Additionally, they will work on the final step using BC artists' ceramic fragments. 

The participants will be taking a Kintsugi art piece home after repairs are done. The cracked line and numbers will vary.

*Repair experience is not required. Everyone is welcome.

Important Note: Please be aware that we will be using Urushi lacquer, essential for Kintsugi, which can cause severe skin irritation (in this session, low-sensitivity Urushi lacquer will be provided). Participants must wear provided gloves and apply Vaseline to exposed skin. Avoid contact with unintended surfaces.
