Art Kintsugi Introductory Workshop with Yoko Kawada 2nd Nov 10am

Mindful Japanese art of golden ceramic mending to give new life to a damaged piece.

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 which would otherwise be discarded

In this relaxed workshop, you will learn the introductory technique of “Art Kintsugi” mending following 7 essential steps using modern accessible materials and bring home a piece of your own Kintsugi art.

Suitable for people over 18 and unsuitable if pregnant.

All materials are provided.

This workshop can take up to 4 hours, please don’t plan anything straight after, if you leave early your piece won’t be finished.

Please arrive at 9.30 for afternoon tea before the workshop starts at 10am
