Step into the enchanting realm of Kintsugi, the revered Japanese art of restoring broken pottery. At our workshop in Melbourne, we invite you to delve into this whimsical craft that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the rich history behind every shattered piece.

During the workshop, we'll introduce you to the profound ethos of Kintsugi, where breakage and repair are honored as integral parts of an object's story, rather than flaws to conceal. Under our guidance, you'll learn the contemporary approach to Kintsugi using resin—a less allergenic, fast-drying, and cost-effective alternative to precious metals. With precision and care, you'll master the art of joining fragments, transforming them into breathtaking and truly unique ceramics.

In a world dominated by disposables and throw-away culture, our workshop offers a refreshing escape—a space where the act of repairing and reusing cherished pieces is celebrated. Experience the meditative joy of restoring pottery and revel in the celebration of resilience and sustainability.

Join us at Melbourne's premier Kintsugi workshop, where the art of pottery restoration comes to life. Reserve your spot now and embark on a journey of creativity, mindfulness, and the pursuit of everlasting beauty.

We suggest visiting a local op shop to pick up some ceramics to bring along if you do not have anything broken in your home. These can be broken at the workshop as well before you begin the Kintsugi process. 

We recommend bringing along at least one piece that is not of sentimental value. Like any skill, this technique takes some practice to perfect!
