About this Event
Kintsugi, which literally translates as 'golden joinery', celebrates the Japanese philosophy of the beauty of imperfection.
In this beginners workshop you will:
- be given your own toolbox which will contain all the materials and items you need for this workshop.
- learn step-by-step how to safely break pottery and to repair it with gold, thereby embracing the cracks to make unique pieces of art.
- make two finished Kintsugi pieces to take home which make beautiful mementoes of the day and can be used as ornaments or gifts.
Why this workshop is so special:
- Kintsugi is a mindful, meditative art form that celebrates the beauty in imperfection.
- It is a relaxing creative experience that you can share with others.
- Your Kintsugi ceramics are unique personalised pieces of art that embrace the power of transformation.
