Kintsugi/Kintsukuroi is a traditional Japanese method of mending

broken objects, known as gold jointing or gold repairing.

 

Traditionally, a material called ‘urushi’ is used in Kintsugi.
In our workshop, we will follow the concept of a 15th century Japanese repairing

technique while combining modern materials together with traditional ‘urushi’.

 

Normally traditional ‘kintsugi’ can take weeks or even months to complete a piece,

while this 'new kintsugi’ allows you to experience the traditional technique in one afternoon,

or morning with astonishing result. Don’t worry if you are not crafty.

‘Kintsugi’ is not about how perfect it has been restored.
 

It is more about emphasizing the cracks and seeing something different,

even something completely new with history which has been added.

 

It is often said that the importance of Kintsugi is not in it’s appearance.

It’s beauty and value exists within each individuals.

 

This spirit of finding the beauty in aged or broken things, leads to the spirit of ‘Wabi Sabi’ philosophy.
