What to expect

Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique for restoring broken pottery using gold and silver colors. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to revive broken pottery and turn it into a one-of-a-kind treasure. No experience is necessary, and a friendly instructor will guide you step by step. You will take home a beautifully renewed piece of work that you have made yourself. This class incorporates traditional Kintsugi techniques but is a shortened version that anyone can easily enjoy. You will have the unique experience of breathing new life into a broken piece of pottery. However, since the work created in this experience is a simplified version, it cannot be used for eating or drinking, but it is perfect as interior art that you can enjoy as a decoration or an accessory tray. The pottery that you restored and designed yourself will become a special one-of-a-kind item, and by displaying it in your home or office, it will become a wonderful art piece that will decorate your space! Mindfulness By immersing yourself in the process of Kintsugi, you can calm your mind and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
