Kintsugi
2025-10-18 12:00 - 16:00
Event: Kintsugi
Date: 18th October 2025
Time: 12-4pm
Duration: 3-4 hours Price: £45
Ideal Age: 18+ What’s Included: All materials, including a piece of Japanese inspired pottery, tuition
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 repairtranslates 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.

What you make: A 25cm Drum Lampshade
Age: 18 years+
Suits: Beginner friendly, home decor enthusiasts
What to bring: You will supply your own fabric so that you can co-ordinate this with your home decor. You can choose to embellish at home with trimmings of your choice or leave as a simple and elegant shade. The fabric you should source should be woven, not too stretchy or thick and ideally cotton or linen. Avoid velvet, wool or easily fraying materials. Half a metre of fabric would be ample but the exact size is 820mm wide x 255 mm. If you want to keep life simple, avoid fabric that has a directional pattern to it so a smaller repeat pattern for example.
Bring reading glasses if needed for close work.
Workshop Summary: During this relaxed and beginner friendly ‘no sew’ workshop you will learn to make a straight sided, 30cm drum lampshade. You can choose whether your lampshade can be used for a hung ceiling pendant or a table lamp base. You will be guided through every step and need absolutely no prior experience or sewing skills. There is no machine or hand sewing involved- we promise!
A relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with optional refreshments and scone bar selection to choose from.

Summary:

The Japanese word kokedama (苔玉) translates to ’ moss ball’. It’s made up of the words koke, which means “moss”, and dama, which means “ball”.

A kokedama is a living plant that’s suspended in a ball of soil and wrapped in moss. It’s a centuries-old art form that originated in Japan and is part of the Wabi-Sabi philosophy. Kokedama can be hung or displayed on a plate and make a beautiful table centre piece or look stunning in a bathroom.

During this fun beginner friendly workshop, you will pick your plant, shown how to create the ball with a soil mixture, twine and moss, and how to effectively wrap the ball with twine. We’ll discuss after care advice to prolong the life of your plant.

You’ll go home with a beautiful Kokedama ready to hang or display at home and treasure for years to come.
