Kintsugi Workshop

Event description
Workshop Times:
10am-12pm
2pm-4pm

Immersia presents a rare opportunity thanks to the Australia-Japan Society- a Kintsugi workshop.

Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of mending broken pottery using lacquer, with gold, platinum or silver, which dates back to 15th century Japan.
The philosophy of Kintsugi is that an object is sometimes broken; however, this is part of its life, and rather than throwing it away it can be repaired and have its cracks remain to show its history and story.
This is a beautiful art to learn while also helping with sustainability, as you are not throwing things away!
This beginners’ Kintsugi workshop uses an original technique designed by Kintsugi Australia to make it easy for anyone to use the Modern Kintsugi technique, especially for those who live in Australia.
You will learn some of the basic techniques using modern materials such as epoxy glue and putty.

Please note:
This is a ticketed event.

Let us know if you have any allergies.
We do not recommend this workshop if you’re pregnant due to the use of epoxy glue and putty
