Join us for a unique workshop based on emulating the ancient Japanese practice of Kintsugi led by Art Therapist Tara DeLuca.
During the workshop, you will connect with your bowl, break it, confront the damage, and take ownership of the pieces that remain by gluing them back together.
The bowl will be changed forever, just as each person is through their personal experiences.
What was once broken does not always stay that way
Broken, repaired, and new
Calming, shared experience, self-care
The concept expresses how the passage of time can further increase the beauty in the imperfect.
“Instead of masking the flaws, a Japanese way of seeing things is that by highlighting the cracks, the piece becomes stronger, more beautiful, and easier to use.”
