THE ART OF KINTSUGIKintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form which uses a lacquer dusted with powdered gold to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item, leaving a gold seam where the cracks were. Kintsugi literally translates to golden repair (kin - golden and tsugi – repair). Each piece is unique and the cracks become part of the design, creating a unique piece of art. The mended cracks are symbolic of an event in the life of that object which, rather than cause its destruction, has contributed to its unique beauty. Bring along your own broken item to restore (something small and simple is advised) or choose from pieces the tutor will have available. Repair a special piece that has been sitting in your cupboard or elevate something from the op shop to make your own original piece of art. Your repaired item could also make a lovely gift! Our tutor has been a Kintsugi artist for eight years and has held several workshops in both Auckland and Whangarei. All materials provided.
