Kintsugi Workshop with Ema Frost

Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi? It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold, making its imperfections its beauty. A truly wonderful philosophy to live by. Nothing is ever really broken, but new life and meaning is brought back making your piece a work of art and truly something special. You can also apply this technique on various materials like glass, wood, greenstone and shells.

Kintsugi It's called kintsugi (金継ぎ), or kintsukuroi (金繕い), literally golden (“kin”) and repair (“tsugi”). This traditional Japanese art uses a precious metal – liquid gold, liquid silver or lacquer dusted with powdered gold – to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item and at the same time enhance the breaks.
