Artist Workshop: The Art of Repair
Join Chutzpah exhibiting artist Hedy Ritterman and acclaimed Kintsugi artist Yoko Kawada in a hands-on workshop.
Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, embraces imperfection, honouring cracks as part of an object’s unique history rather than flaws to be concealed. Through this immersive experience, explore the profound connections between art, memory and repair, while engaging in a practice that reflects resilience and renewal.
Participants will be guided by Yoko Kawada in the history, philosophy and process of this art form, learning the introductory technique of Kintsugi mending, using safer and accessible materials (epoxy, lacquer and gold metal powder).
Each participant will bring home a piece of Kintsugi art and the skills to be able to start practicing themselves.
This workshop also includes a tour of CHUTZPAH: Spirit. Recollection. Self. led by Hedy Ritterman.
