What you can expect

  • Discover the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi during this unique workshop where you will learn to repair broken ceramics by enhancing them with golden powder. Much more than just a restoration technique, Kintsugi is a Japanese philosophy that celebrates imperfections and transforms cracks into elements of beauty.

    During this workshop, you will be guided step by step to understand the essential steps: preparation of the pieces, assembly, application of the repair materials, and decorative finishing.

    Suitable for beginners, this experience is ideal for anyone who wants to discover a soothing, creative, and meaningful Japanese artistic practice.

    If you have an item you want to repair, you need to plan for 4 sessions, spaced at least one week apart. There should be 3 weeks between the first and second sessions, then one week between each subsequent session. If you don't have a specific item to repair, sign up for a date that suits you. You'll repair a small chip on a small plate that you'll take home with you!
