May 17, from 9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese technique of repairing ceramics with gold. In Japanese Zen aesthetics broken bowls and dishes should continue to attract our respect and attention. The broken pieces should be reassembled and glued back together with a lacquer that is inflected with gold powder. There should be no attempt to hide or disguise the breaks but rather to make something artful out of them. Kintsugi is a wonderful metaphor for life. We all experience difficulties and traumatic events in our lives. Applying Kintsugi to our lives means being bold, rather than hiding the so-called cracks and imperfections in ourselves. In this workshop you will learn a little about the history and philosophy of kintsugi repair two ceramic pieces to take home learn to embellish your pieces using both old mica powders and gold leaf colors. Students will also receive complete instructions and a supply list, as well as receiving a sample of your choice of three gold mica powder colors.
