Kintsugi Workshop
壊れたものに、金の命を吹き込む
Welcome & Introduction to Kintsugi History
Your journey begins with a warm welcome and an immersive introduction to the origins of kintsugi — the Japanese philosophy of repairing broken things with gold. Learn about wabi-sabi and mottainai, the cultural values that transform scars into beauty.
道具と素材の説明
Tools, Materials & Preparation
Get acquainted with each tool and the safe, simplified kintsugi materials you'll use. Your instructor walks you through every item before work begins, so you feel fully confident as you start.
器を見つめ、設計する
Inspecting the Vessel & Planning the Assembly
Carefully examine your broken vessel and plan how to reassemble the pieces. This mindful step echoes the spirit of kintsugi itself — pausing, observing, and seeing possibility in imperfection.
金粉を纏う
Decorating with Gold Powder & Finishing
Apply gold powder to the seams and bring your piece to life. This is the heart of kintsugi — turning what was broken into something more beautiful than before. Complete your work, take a commemorative photo, and receive guidance on how to care for your piece.
