Description

Join a Kintsugi workshop and learn the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. More than a craft, Kintsugi is a philosophy—a way of embracing flaws and imperfections as part of an object’s unique story. Dating back to the 15th century, Kintsugi (金継ぎ) means “golden joinery.” It was born out of the Japanese tradition of cherishing what is broken rather than discarding it. By using lacquer and powdered gold, silver, or platinum, cracks and breaks in ceramics are transformed into beautiful, golden seams, celebrating their history instead of hiding them. Instead of replacing broken pottery, learn to mend it, bringing out the hidden beauty in every crack. Kintsugi is a calming and reflective process that encourages you to appreciate imperfections and embrace resilience. The piece you repair will carry your personal touch and serve as a lasting reminder of the value of preservation and renewal. Gain a deeper understanding of Japanese aesthetics and philosophy, rooted in “wabi-sabi,” the appreciation of imperfection and impermanence. All materials are provided, including broken pottery, artificial lacquer, and gold powder. Take home your beautifully repaired piece as a personal keepsake.
