Session Highlights:
Discover the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, through which we can practice embracing the imperfect, incomplete, and Impermanent nature of the world that we live in
Talk about traditional methods of Kintsugi and some ways that contemporary artists have adapted the craft using modern materials to make the practice more accessible
Take a moment for you to embrace the meaning of Kintsugi into your world
Go on a healing journey as you break, then repair a ceramic object with gold (and learn the techniques and tips for the repair process)
We will provide everything you need, including a ceramic vessel to break and repair. If you have your own broken item you are welcome to bring it to review with our instructor and even get started on in class!
Please note: Items repaired in class using the modern adhesives are decorative only and not food-safe.
