Learn traditional Japanese techniques with the "Kintsugi" experience.
November 5th (Tuesday), we will be holding a “1 day Kintsugi Experience”. 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!
