Learn how to mend once loved china and earthenware using the Japanese art of Kintsugi. A perfect Mother's Day experience for two.
Kintsugi, the Japanese art of embracing your imperfections. Learn how to mend once loved china and earthenware in this mindful introduction to the Kintsugi method. The visible repairs are seen as part of the history of an object, highlighting the cracks and symbolising fragility, strength and beauty. This golden repair is called Kintsugi.
What happens in this workshop?
The idea of this workshop is to repair a loved item, joining together the fractures using the Japanese Kintsugi method - applying the resin glue to the broken sections and making it whole once more.The imperfections aren’t to be hidden but embraced! The Kintsugi method celebrates the beauty of the scars in an object and recognises that the history should be shown and not hidden. Choose your broken porcelain (vase, bowl, plate or cup), and be taken by our resident Indytute expert, step by step through the technique of mending each section piece by piece. This is very much a thoughtful and methodical process….not to be rushed, where each piece is applied and repaired carefully.
Ideal for a girls' afternoon or the perfect antidote to a stressful day.
LOCATION: Kensal Rise (a couple of stops from Paddington).
DURATION: Classes last approx. 2 hours, and run monthly, midweek and Saturday dates
