Kintsugi is the Japanese practice of repairing broken ceramics with gold,
treating the break as part of the object's history rather than something
to hide.
In this two hour class you will join a broken piece back together and finish the seams in gold, leaving with a completed repair and a feel for how the traditional process works. No experience needed.
This class uses a modern, simplified method. Finished pieces are decorative and not food safe.
For the traditional urushi process, see the Traditional Kintsugi Foundation Course.

This course uses urushi, the natural tree lacquer used in the traditional process, rather than the modern substitutes found in most introductory classes.
Over four sessions you will repair one piece from start to finish and learn the reasoning behind each stage:
1. Introduction and mugi urushi (joining the fragments)
2. Sabi urushi (filling and shaping the seams)
3. Naka nuri as coating
4. E-urushi and gold application
The aim is to give you a working understanding of the traditional process. The steps are simplified for a four session format, so this is about learning the method rather than producing a flawless repair.
*Urushi can cause an allergic skin reaction. A signed waiver is required before the first session.

An ongoing kintsugi class for people who have already taken a class with me and want to keep working.
Come when you can, work at your own pace, and get guidance on whatever stage your piece is at.
Urushi takes time. Each layer has to cure before the next one goes on, so real repair work happens across weeks, not in a single afternoon.
Open to anyone who has completed Intro to Kintsugi or the Traditional Kintsugi Foundation Course.
If you have learned kintsugi elsewhere, please get in touch before signing up.
Materials and tools are available in the studio with some additional fee. Bring your own pieces.
*Urushi can cause an allergic skin reaction. A signed waiver is required before the first session.
