Start your session with a short presentation on the history of Kintsugi and how it relates to our daily lives. Then you would choose a Japanese ceramic piece and break it!
Following that, you would then proceed to mend the ceramic crack by crack and finish off with a brushing of gold powder.
You would return home with a beautiful finished Kintsugi masterpiece in a lovely Sakura blossom giftbox.
Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art and it involves mending broken ceramics using gold. It is taught on the principle that when you mend a broken ceramic and illuminate the cracks with gold you are creating an even more beautiful piece of art
It's very applicable to people of all generations young and old who may go through 'brokenness' (emotional distress) and may feel burdened by certain 'cracks' (unfortunate events) through work stress or relationship problems with friends, family or colleagues
Through the Kintsugi healing session, we teach the participants how to make the right connections (glueing the broken ceramic pieces) and bounce back from the difficulties and move on with life
Kintsugi Art also teaches us sustainability - mend and repurpose your broken ceramic plates, bowls etc. Don't throw them away!
All are welcome to learn Kintsugi - Youths, adults, seniors, LGBTQ and Wheelchair friendly
