Modern Kintsugi for Beginners

The philosophy of Kintsugi is that an object is sometimes broken; however, this is part of its life. Rather than throwing the broken object away, Kintsugi technique can be used to repair the object, and its cracks remain to show its history and story.

Kintsugi is the unique and ancient Japanese art of repairing broken, chipped and cracked pottery using lacquer and gold.

In this beginners class you will learn some of the basic techniques of Kintsugi, similar to those used throughout its 550 year history. In this class, modern materials are used, with an original technique designed by Kintsugi Australia, so it can be learnt and practiced by anyone with ease.

At the end of this beginners class, you will be able to take home your repaired creation to appreciate for years to come. The tutors will explain where you can find the materials used in the class, almost all available in local stores in Australia, so that you will be able to repair your own objects at home.
