Mixed Media | Kintsugi: Exploring Traditional Japanese Golden Repair$95.00 Select a date from the drop-down menu. In this 5-week course, you’ll learn to restore a small, chipped ceramic piece and the gluing technique over the course of five sessions. As Traditional kintsugi repairs can be time consuming even for small chips, we kindly recommend that beginners start with a piece that has only a minor flaw. Kintsugi, meaning “golden joinery,” is the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with Urushi (lacquer) mixed with powdered gold. Rather than concealing the damage, it embraces it and transforms imperfections into a distinctive and beautiful feature. It’s a concept that has also come to symbolize healing and embracing imperfections. Urushi (lacquer) is a natural sap from the lacquer tree, so repaired pieces are still safe for food use. However, because gold is used in the repair, they should not be placed in a dishwasher or microwave. For this workshop, each student will need to bring an item you wish to repair. Pieces with a glossy, smooth surface work best. Matte-finished items require extra care and protection, which can be time-consuming, so we kindly ask that such pieces not be brought to class. Each student should bring (1) one item with a small chip, (2) one item that has broken into two or three pieces but has no missing parts. You may bring a few pieces to have help in deciding which piece to best begin with. Please note that the kintsugi kit contains only a small amount of gold powder, so it is suitable for repairing small chips (with no missing parts) or small vessels. It would also be helpful if you could send a photo of the piece you’d like to repair to the instructor in advance: hiromiceramics@gmail.com ADD KIT INFO?

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Being a ceramic artist herself, Hiromi, who had long been interested in the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi, she took a class taught by a lacquer master Gen Saratani in New York in 2017. Since then, she has continued repairing her own work, fellow ceramic artists, and also accepts restoration requests from clients. I hope people can appreciate that cherished items shouldn’t be thrown away when broken, but can be restored and experiencing the beauty of bringing them back to life.
