Kintsugi workshop for beginners

Sakura Copenhagen is hosting a cozy and informal kintsugi workshop where you will learn the traditional Japanese 'kintsugi technique' - a meaningful method for repairing broken ceramics with gold, silver, or bronze-colored glue. 

Kintsugi originates from the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which celebrates imperfection and sees beauty in what has been broken. When ceramics are reassembled, the cracks are highlighted instead of being hidden, and the new piece becomes beautiful in a new way.

The technique is not only beautiful and symbolic but also sustainable. By repairing instead of discarding, kintsugi helps to break away from the buy-and-throw-away culture.

In the workshop, our instructor will tell you more about the history of kintsugi. All participants will have the opportunity to become comfortable with the craft as different parts are glued together. Questions can be asked along the way, and we are happy to help. 

The workshop includes an optional piece of broken ceramics to work on. Additional ceramics can be purchased. All ceramics can be taken home after the workshop.

The workshop is cozy, practical, and informal. It is held in Sakura Social's inspiring premises at Gammel Kongevej 91C. It lasts approx. 1.5 hours, and we serve tea, water, and snacks. Everyone can participate – no prior experience is required, only the desire to be creative and present in the moment.There is a limited number of spots, and your registration is only final when you have paid and received a confirmation email.
