Course Description:

Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form in which gold and Urushi (the natural resin/glue collected from the lacquer tree) sap, is used to repair broken ceramics. The practice of Kintsugi highlights the break rather than erasing it and emphasizes that the break, or trauma, is what makes the ceramics more valuable.

 

In this beginner’s workshop, participants will learn the basic technique of Kintsugi on a small porcelain plate or a small ceramic plate to understand the fundamentals of this process. There will be a choice to use an artificial Urushi sap for this beginner’s class, which is safe to touch without allergy reactions.
