can take home.

“The point of Kintsigu is to treat broken pieces and their repair as part of the history of an object.” — Penny Reid

During this interactive workshop you will learn a little of the history of Kintsigu, the Japanese art of fixing broken

ceramics with gold.

We'll review the different methods available to us as well as the tools needed before moving on to fixing our

The act of piecing a ceramic back together is a relaxing, meditative act and no prior experience is

necessary.
