Kintsugi | Embracing Imperfection Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 1 customer rating (1 customer review) $90.00 Select a date from the drop-down menu. 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. Feel free to bring in your own piece for me to look at and give you some advice on. We MAY NOT in all likelihood, repair your piece during class, but you will get good insight on how to procced at home. All materials are included. Students will learn two distinct ways of highlighting the breaks of their provided ceramic pieces and will take home a unique piece. Ages 17+ are welcome. • Military and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Homeschoolers: Click here for enrollment details. • If this class is full, click here to be added to the Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Luis Santiago has been teaching Kintsugi for 3 years, sharing the craft, and on a deeper level, imparting the meaningful message of resilience, acceptance and dealing with adversity in life. He explains that he “discovered the art, history and essence of Kintsugi quite by accident. It immediately struck a chord with me. It led me to learn about and appreciate the simple message of Wabi Sabi. In these uncertain and crazy times, I believe people can find some solace and comfort in realizing that their so called “scars” and imperfections are things that do not need to be hidden or ashamed of.” Prior to teaching this workshop, Luis is/was a decorative and faux finish artist for many years both in the USA and in Spain. 1 review for Kintsugi | Embracing Imperfection Rated 5 out of 5 Tessa (verified owner) – September 22, 2024 I really enjoyed this class and feel confident to try it at home.
