What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of mending broken pottery using lacquer, highlighting with gold, platinum, or silver, which dates back to the 15th century Japan.
The philosophy of Kintsugi is that an object is sometimes broken; however, this is part of its life, and rather than throwing it away, it can be repaired and have its cracks remain to show its history and story.
The message behind Kintsugi is "The beauty of imperfection", where flaws and scars should be accepted and cherished, not hidden.
Available Seats: 12 spots only
What to bring: Apron or old shirts to cover your clothes. Other tools will be provided by Kintsugi Australia.
