Kintsugi, often called “golden joinery,” is more than just an art form; it’s a profound philosophy deeply rooted in Japanese culture.

You’ll delve into the history and philosophy of Kintsugi, gaining a profound understanding of how it represents life’s journey. Then, it’s your turn to roll up your sleeves and try it for yourself, making two pieces of kintsugi to take home and enjoy. In our studio, you’ll receive all the materials needed, and our experienced instructor will guide you through the hands-on process. As you mend your own piece of pottery, you’ll discover not only the art of Kintsugi but also the art of self-acceptance and resilience. This isn’t just a class; it’s a cultural immersion and a transformative experience. By participating in our Kintsugi Experience, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and the profound wisdom that lies within this ancient art form.
