Learn how to repair pottery using Kintsugi at my workshop for beginners in the Manchester Craft and Design Centre
About this Event

Discover the ancient art of Kintsugi with Amelia in a fun and creative way. 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.

lady_magpie2 Aw what a fabulous way to spend Sunday morning! I thoroughly enjoyed this session, I had no idea of what kintsugi is, so this was a great taster session to discover it. I highly recommend giving this a go. Amelia is a fantastic tutor, very welcoming and friendly. I'm already looking forward to her return to the Beacon at Whitehaven 😍
