Summary: We need to become more aligned with the concept that something being “broken” does not mean that it is useless. Nor do we have to see the concept of actually restoring something as making it ‘as new’.

Kintsugi teaches us that in life we can turn adversity into something that is beautiful and resilient and shows us that in time, we can heal from our wounds, embrace our imperfections, and become stronger.

Kintsugi known as the golden repair  translates as ‘kin’ meaning gold and ‘tsugi’ meaning ‘join’.

Using a 2 part premium non toxic epoxy glue and choice of mica powders, we will repair a Japanese inspired piece of pottery which will be provided for you.

We will take our time and gently convert our bowl into a beautiful piece to display and cherish reminding us that no matter our difficulties, we can find a way to reframe and find meaning in life.
