Kintsugi is the Japanese ancient method of repairing broken pottery. In this fun and hands-on class in Sydney, you will use that technique to make beautiful accessories! You will create accessories with different parts join together (継ぎtsugi) using beautiful gold (金 gold) lines!
In this beginner’s Kintsugi class, you will learn some of the techniques of Kintsugi and basic knowledge required for making accessories.
You will make three pieces. Please choose from the below on the day:
  • One pair of earrings AND
  • One pendant top OR one brooch
You can choose materials from ceramics and beach glasses.
In this class, you will use the traditional technique of kintsugi to make accessories, but we will use modern materials (epoxy glue instead of lacquer).
At the end of this class, you will be able to create your own accessories with broken ceramics, shells or glass from the beach, or even your own treasures joined together!
After completing the beginner’s course, you can move to the advanced course.
