About The Event
Kintsugi On Something Unexpected
What if you could take something ordinary, break it apart and turn the damage into the most beautiful part of it?
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold. In this experience, we take that idea somewhere unexpected. Instead of working with a traditional piece of pottery, you will repair an unusual object and give it a completely new character.
Break it, piece it back together and trace the cracks with gold. You will never know exactly how your final piece will look until you start putting it back together - and that is what makes every creation different.
Along the way, discover the beautiful idea behind Kintsugi: imperfections do not always need to be hidden. Sometimes, they can become the part that makes something worth keeping.
