An Introduction To Kintsugi: Workshop

Discover the centuries-old Japanese art of Kintsugi in a unique hands-on workshop at Kyubi’s Naisho. Kintsugi highlights the beauty of imperfections by repairing ceramics using Japanese lacquer (urushi) dusted with powdered precious metals to restore broken ceramics. Rather than masking cracks and breaks, Kintsugi highlights them to tell an object’s story. In this workshop, you will learn the principles of Kintsugi as you restore a broken ceramic item using urushi lacquer and powdered brass. Take home your beautifully repaired piece, along with the skills to apply Kintsugi techniques to your own items. This workshop offers a wonderful introduction to this art form, providing accessible shortcuts to help beginners achieve stunning results.
