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 adhesive.
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 result becomes beautiful in a new way, both aesthetically and symbolically. At the same time, the technique is sustainable: by repairing instead of discarding, kintsugi helps to break away from the throwaway culture. In the workshop, our instructor will tell you more about the history behind kintsugi.
The workshop is cozy, practical, and informal. Everyone can participate – no prior experience is required, only the desire to be creative and present in the moment, and all participants will have the opportunity to become comfortable with the craft as different pieces are glued together. Questions can be asked along the way, and we are happy to help.
The workshop includes an optional piece of broken pottery to work on. Additional pottery can be purchased. All pottery can be taken home after the workshop.
The workshop will be held at Sakura Social's inspiring premises at Gammel Kongevej 91C. It lasts approximately 1.5 hours, and we will serve tea, water, and snacks. There are a limited number of spots, and your registration is only final once you have paid and received a confirmation email.
