Join us for a hands-on Kintsugi workshop with expert Yoko Shimoyama. Kintsugi, or "Golden Joinery," is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics using lacquer and gold powder, turning flaws into a celebration of imperfection.
In this tutorial, Yoko will guide you through the process and show you how to restore your broken ceramics in a unique and beautiful way.
No experience is needed. You will receive step-by-step instructions on how to restore your ceramics with a golden touch.
Spaces are limited, book your spot today for this memorable and creative experience!
This event is suitable for adults aged 18+.
What you need to bring:
- a broken ceramic (ideally an item with 1 to 3 broken or chipped pieces)
- a box to transport your repaired ceramics home.
All materials for the repair will be provided.
To be prepared for the workshop
- tie up long hair
- avoid wearing tops with long, loose sleeves. Please wear something fitted or a top with sleeves you can easily roll up.
