Welcome to the wonderful artistic world of Kintsugi
During the workshop, you will be introduced to the famous Japanese technique of Kintsugi. You will see how broken ceramics express the art of imperfection, and you will experience how much satisfaction repair can bring.
The Japanese technique of Kintsugi, dating back to the 15th century, demonstrates how cracked or broken pottery can be repaired using gold leaf.
And in doing so, all the fractures are deliberately emphasized instead of hidden. This technique fits perfectly into current trends such as imperfect design, ecology, and craftsmanship.
The beauty of imperfection, according to the (also) Japanese philosophy of WabiSabi, forms the basis of the workshops. After an introduction and a relaxation exercise, you will break a plate or bowl of your choice into pieces, after which you will reassemble the shards with special golden Kintsugi glue.
During this process, you will discover how valuable it is to be fully concentrated during this workshop. And the development of your motor skills while being engaged is another often underestimated added value of this workshop.
Becoming aware of the values of Kintsugi while actually working with the technique can be useful in numerous situations in your daily life, simply by giving you more ideas on how to approach all sorts of problems. It's the experience of letting go and starting anew.
For this workshop, all you need to bring is a plate. And don't worry... Annelies will have some extra pieces available in the workshop if needed.
The workshop is an excellent opportunity to experience a zen moment, realizing that imperfection is also acceptable. And when you leave, you will have a beautiful creation with you, made by yourself. And, most importantly, you have learned to heal something that is broken.
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.... Best regards, Annelies 0651891851
