Our Favourites

Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique for repairing broken pottery using gold and silver colors. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to revive broken pottery and turn it into a one-of-a-kind treasure. No experience is necessary, and a friendly instructor will guide you step by step. You will take home a beautifully restored piece of work that you have made yourself.

This class incorporates traditional Kintsugi techniques, but is a shortened version that anyone can easily enjoy. You will have the unique experience of breathing new life into a broken pottery.

However, since the work made in this experience is a simplified version, it cannot be used for eating or drinking, but it is perfect as interior art that can be enjoyed as a decorative item or accessory tray.

The Spirit of Kintsugi

Everyone is imperfect, and sometimes our hearts get hurt and we break. But even so, we heal and overcome those wounds, and eventually become stronger and more beautiful than before.

Kintsugi is the same. Rather than simply repairing broken things, it transforms the cracks into a new sparkle and rebirths them into something more beautiful than before.

Scars are not defects, but stories and strengths. That is the power of Kintsugi.
