Accidentally breaking a piece of pottery of sentimental value does not mean it is lost forever. Using the principles of the Ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi (golden joinery), it offers us a technique whereby we can recycle our broken pottery pieces through repairing them with gold creating an even stronger more beautiful piece of art. The philosophy of Kintsugi is that the value of an object is not in its beauty but in its imperfections, and these imperfections are something to celebrate not hide.
In this workshop you will:
discover the ancient art of Kintsugi in a fun and creative way
create beautiful ceramic pieces to take home
learn how to repair broken pottery with gold, thereby embracing the cracks to make unique pieces of art
be given your own toolbox which will contain all the items you need for this workshop
Your Kintsugi pieces will make beautiful mementoes of the day which can be used as ornaments or as gifts.
