TIME: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
FACILITATOR: Kathy Krol
Join us to learn the ancient art form of Kintsugi. Kintsugi means “to join with gold” in which a piece of broken pottery is repaired, and the cracks are sealed with gold lacquer. This art practice has been around since the 15th century and has recently regained popularity. You will have the opportunity to experience the process of Kintsugi first-hand and create your own painted bowl that will be both uniquely yours and which can serve as a nice decorative and conversational piece.
Along with the opportunity for creative expression, you will learn the basic philosophy and principles behind Kintsugi and Wabi-Sabi. Kintsugi embraces the imperfections in life and oneself, encouraging instead self-acceptance. Wabi-Sabi finds beauty in this imperfection, recognizes change and the impermanent nature of life.
Gain appreciation towards how objects and this art form parallel life; where beauty, value and strength can come from something broken and imperfect.
No artistic skills needed. Price includes instruction and cost of art supplies.
