Kintsugi (golden joinery) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold or silver. This ancient art form is based on the philosophy of embracing the flawed or imperfect. Highlighting the cracks and repairs as simply an event in the life of an object rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage.
This September, JTA welcome back Ai Shimizu, a Kyoto-based Kintsugi practitioner who is already a part of the JTA family. She has painstakingly developed the Kintsugi SEED kit which has now been enjoyed by our customers. Ai-san has exhibited her work in Japan and internationally, as well as teaching throughout Japan and France.
The three class options over the weekend of workshops, delve into the Kintsugi fundamentals.
Class 1 - repairing cracks (ware). In this session you will learn how to reinforce ceramics that have cracks appearing in or through the surface, but have not fully "broken".
Class 2 - repairing a broken vessel (kake). In this session you will repair a vessel that has broken into two pieces.
Class 3 - Repairing missing pieces (kokuso). In this session you will learn the correct way to repair a broken vessel where a fragment of the original piece is missing.
Workshops will be held at the JTA Showroom with all materials included.
