In this workshop, you will experience the final coating and sprinkling of gold powder on old Japanese pottery that has been restored over time by a Kintsugi expert using real lacquer. The materials used are lacquer and real gold powder. Because it is a natural material, it is a traditional method that is completely food safe and ideal for tableware. Each step up to the finishing stage will be demonstrated using actual tools and materials, and we will introduce the history and philosophy of Kintsugi behind it, as well as various finishing methods and aftercare. Please enjoy the most moving moment of Kintsugi! On the day, you can choose either a small plate or a cup for the Kintsugi experience, and take the completed pottery home as it is. We will also prepare a relaxing tea time with beautiful Japanese sweets. Enjoy a relaxing time while touching Japanese tradition. (All workshops are in English) Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair technique that uses lacquer and gold to repair broken or chipped pottery. It is a unique Japanese aesthetic sense that even damaged and imperfect forms are beautiful. By decorating with gold or silver, rather than hiding scratches, you can breathe new life into them and create a sustainable cycle of cherishing things. Repairing also gives you a sense of peace of mind, so it is also called art therapy. Since the repairs are done using natural materials such as lacquer, wood powder, and gold dust, you can rest assured that they can be used on tableware. *This class does not use synthetic resins such as epoxy resins used in modern and simple kintsugi.
