About this Event
In this Modern Kintsugi Workshop
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold, a metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections.
“You won't realize your full potential until you go through the tough times,"
Embrace the beauty of imperfection. Join our Kintsugi workshop and learn how to restore broken bowls with a touch of gold or silver. Rediscover balance, acceptance, and personal empowerment through this transformative art form.
Repairing pottery with a contemporary twist
Experience the beauty of urushi (Japanese lacquer) in our 1 Day Modern Kintsugi workshop. Unlike conventional modern kintsugi methods that use only artificial glue. You will leave satisfied with both the experience of Kintsugi and the final product of your Kintsugi pottery from the workshop.
The modern kintsugi method creates stunningly restored pottery, and it is also food safe
Pottery will be provided.
Please note: We do not recommend this workshop for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to the nature of the chemicals.
