Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi? It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold, making its imperfections its beauty. A truly wonderful philosophy to live by. Nothing is ever really broken, but new life and meaning is brought back making your piece a work of art and truly something special. You can also apply this technique on various materials like glass, wood, greenstone and shells.
Kintsugi It's called kintsugi (金継ぎ), or kintsukuroi (金繕い), literally golden (“kin”) and repair (“tsugi”). This traditional Japanese art uses a precious metal – liquid gold, liquid silver or lacquer dusted with powdered gold – to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item and at the same time enhance the breaks.
Kintsugi Workshop
With Ema Frost
Sunday, 2nd November
10.30am – 12.30pm

If you have a piece that you'd like to work on please wash and dry thoroughly - this will help with the process. But if not I always have back up pieces you can work on.
You will take away your wonderful finished work, plus your new skills which will enable you to further your own Kintsugi in your own time. You’ll also leave with an understanding of Kintsugi history.
