2 x 2 hours
1 to 12 guests
$425
(Afterpay available)
What you'll do
This is the only course in Australia where you can learn traditional Japanese Kintsugi.In just three lessons over two days, you will learn techniques that would normally require a stay of over a month in Japan, thanks to the method created by Jun Morooka, a Kintsugi master with 15 years of experience.This will be our first time running a Traditional Kintsugi course in Perth! If you have time on the weekend, please join us. You will encounter authentic Kintsugi.The goal of the course is to learn the basic techniques and knowledge of traditional Kintsugi, not to create beautiful pieces.Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of mending broken pottery using lacquer, highlighting with gold, platinum or silver, which dates back to the 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 cracks remain to show its history and story. The message behind Kintsugi is "The beauty of imperfection", where flaws and scars should be accepted and cherished, not hidden.This is a beautiful art to learn while also helping with sustainability, as you are not throwing things away!The schedule for the weekend is as follows:Saturday, 30th November 202413:00-14:45 for Lesson 115:00-16:30 for Lesson 2Sunday, 1st December 202413:30-15:15 for Lesson 315:15-16:00 Time for advice and Q&APlease note:
