Art for Adults - Kintsugi Golden Joinery Workshop - Kintsugi
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the cracks with a golden bond. This practice emphasizes beauty in imperfection, celebrating history and uniqueness rather than hiding flaws. While traditional Kintsugi uses lacquer and gold powder, we’ll be using modern materials to ensure a comfortable and accessible experience. For this reason, your finished piece is intended for decorative use only (not food/water/heat safe). Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind work of art. Materials may stain, so please "dress for mess".$10 materials fee due to instructor the first day of class.You may take your piece home that evening if stable to move, but most participants opt to dry overnight to be picked up at the Senior Center the following day.
