About this Event

Step into a reflective, Art Therapist–led Kintsugi workshop where repairing pottery with gold becomes a meditation on resilience and transformation. Begin with gentle mindfulness exercises, then break and repair your own ceramic piece, yours to keep, using modern Kintsugi materials.

Guided rituals and reflection prompts will help you connect the golden seams with your personal journey of embracing imperfection and impermanence.

✨ All materials provided (option to bring your own).


✨ What to Expect:

● Art Therapist–led experience

● All materials provided (or option to bring your own ceramic piece)

● Break, reflect & repair your ceramic piece

● Gentle reflection prompts to center and connect


✨About Your Instructors

The Experience will be hosted by the Handmade Ikigai team. Founder Federica Perri, will open with a brief introduction, sharing her experience of building Handmade Ikigai while navigating a busy tech career and how art has become her way to pause and live more intentionally in the present moment. The session will then be guided by a certified Art Therapist, who will bring years of expertise in blending creativity with mindfulness practices. With a compassionate and reflective approach, they will create a safe space for participants to slow down, explore and discover beauty through Kintsugi.

✨About Handmade Ikigai

Handmade Ikigai is a women-founded, California-based platform that offers Mindful Art Experiences through hands-on crafting activities and AI-powered learning. Inspired by the Japanese concept of ikigai - the idea of finding purpose and joy in everyday life - our mission is to guide busy, creative minds to slow down, reconnect with their creativity and live more intentionally in the present.
