MORE INFORMATION

Highlights

- Arts & Crafts Experience
- An introduction to the world of Kintsugi
- Take home your repaired ware

Description

Experience the final step in Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending pottery with urushi lacquer mixed with powdered gold or silver. When something breaks in Japan, we treated it as part of its story, rather than disguising the damage. By breathing new life into seemingly broken items, Kintsugi is not only fine art, it's also environmentally conscious. 

Who This Experience Is Good For

Anyone who enjoys arts & crafts, history, and using their hands!

Meet Our Local Host
