What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique dating back to the Muromachi period for repairing broken ceramics. It involves reconnecting broken or chipped pieces with lacquer and decorating the seams with powdered gold or silver.
For this workshop, we use a synthetic lacquer (paint) that is less likely to cause allergic reactions and dries quickly, along with blended gold powder (brass and pearl powder), making it safe and easy for beginners to participate.
Workshop Content
Experience creating sustainable Kintsugi-inspired accessories by combining fragments of traditional Japanese ceramics with vibrant natural stones.
We provide hand-crafted and polished ceramic fragments sourced from kilns across Japan. These fragments are made from previously broken or chipped pottery, such as bowls and cups, that are no longer in use.
Each piece is unique, with different patterns, colors, and shapes. Select your favorite ceramic fragments and combine them with colorful natural stones and shells to create your one-of-a-kind Kintsugi jewelry.
