About this Event

Kintsugi is the practice of repairing broken objects, highlighting the cracks with gold. Bringing forward the narrative, and serving to honor impermanence. Kintsugi is used as an analogy for people to practice resilience. Transform, and recover from past experiences. It can serve as an analogy for the duality of life, life’s tendency to both be incredibly beautiful and challenging at the same time.


Wabi Sabi, is the ancient Japanese art philosophy, of finding value in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It invites a new perspective drawing on ancient Zen truth’s like non- attachment, impermanence, and awareness. As well as finding beauty in the insignificant, and unconventional, finding value in impermanence. And drawing inspiration from the incomplete.


In this intimate workshop, we have tea and introductions, and then we will break and restore your own teacup, provided by the workshop using modern Kintsugi techniques. We’ll learn the centuries old Japanese art philosophy Wabi Sabi, And reflect on thought provoking questions.


Please bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and your open minds, we look forward to meeting you.


This event is hosted by Ryley Gaulocher @stonegoldpottery on Instagram, a ceramicist of 13 years, and teacher. He Loves Kintsugi, and Wabi Sabi, for their parallels to everyday life, and the analogy they draw to self healing, transformation, and resiliency.


Note: Please be aware if you are bringing your own piece of pottery to repair, some un glazed clay bodies can be difficult to work with due to the textured surface.


The Workshop is held at The Zen Center Conference Center, at 308 Page St. The house directly up the hill from the San Francisco Zen Center.


Ryley has a beautiful and trhiving pottery studio just down the street from the Zen Center, come check it out! Stone Gold Pottery Studio, 518 Waller St.
