Join our online workshop dedicated to Japanese art of Kintsugi and experience the healing power of artistic restoration.

The art of Kintsugi originates from Japan where artisans began using lacquer and gold pigment to put shattered vessels back together. Nowadays, this process of mending broken porcelains, dusted with gold, or silver powder, aims to make what once was broken look even more attractive than ever.

However, Japanese Kintsugi is not only about mending our broken ceramic objects, but it has a more profound meaning and teaches us about our attitude towards life. With the Kintsugi mindset, when things are broken, we don’t analyse how it happened. Instead, we accept it as it is, without any judgement. We apply gold or silver dust glue to broken parts of porcelain objects to emphasise ‘the scar’ and make it shine even more, embracing our imperfections, flaws, wounds and painful experiences as a part of our unique paths and personalities. Exposing vulnerabilities, by admitting our errors, creates intimacy and trust and shows the development of the character through hardships. Kintsugi helps us to develop more compassion towards ourselves and others and learn how to appreciate broken pieces of our lives.

In this session, we invite you to join with one of your broken porcelains (a cup, plate etc). Azumi Uchitani will give you insights into the philosophy behind Kintsugi and guide you step by step in this restorative process. After this session, you will have your broken object transformed into your unique piece of art, feeling healed with much love.
