Kintsugi Workshop with Yoko Kawada

In this 4.5-hour (including a short break) step-by-step hands-on workshop, you will learn the fundamental skill of Art Kintsugi method, following the principles of ancient Kintsugi utilising more accessible alternative materials which enable you to complete the process within the class and safely.

At the end of the class, you will take home a piece of your own Kintsugi art and be able to repair your own items.

Kintsugi is a century-old Japanese craftwork where broken ceramic objects are pieced back together using lacquer and gold dust, based on the philosophy of Wabi Sabi, finding beauty in imperfection.

The process transforms much-loved, worn items into a beautifully crafted, new piece of art. It is a chance to live a more sustainable way and to rescue objects that would otherwise be discarded.

You will be repairing a ceramic item that they prepare for the class and take home finished.

Class is suitable for those over 18 years old. Not suitable if you are pregnant
