What is Kintsugi◾️◾️

It is a restoration technique in which broken parts such as cracks, chips and cracks are glued by lacquer and finished by decorating with gold.
In Japanese history, earthenware with cracks repaired with lacquer has been found since the Jomon period.
This technique is derived from the spirit of the tea ceremony, which is to accept repaired vessels as they are.
Today, it is becoming popular among people to restore their favorite vessels and use them for a long time, or to enjoy the process and marks of kintsugi as art.



◾️What is simple Kintsugi that you will experience this time ？ ◾️

・ This workshop aims to "have a casual Kintsugi experience. This workshop aims to provide you with a casual experience of Kintsugi (metal-joining). This time, we will use "Synthetic Urushi" which is relatively easy to handle. It dries easily and does not cause rashes, so it is an easy 3-hour experience. Please note that the materials used differ from natural lacquer and pure gold.
・ Since glue is used to repair cracks, we ask that you use your own judgment if food touches the kintsugi part or your mouth comes in contact with it. It can be used for things to keep dry things, such as a small container or an individual snack container.
・ Kintsugitate vessels cannot be used in microwave ovens or dishwashers.
・ Please refrain from using earthenware pots and other vessels used over an open flame.



◾What to prepare on the day◾️

① If you have broken or chipped vessels you wish to kintsugi （ 1 piece ） *
*We recommend up to 5 pieces of fine broken pieces as it takes longer.
② Newspaper or cushioning material to protect the vessel. The final step in the kintsugi process is to dry the vessels, but it may not be possible to dry them in time. We recommend that you prepare a cardboard box to take your vessels home in.
③ Clothing that can be used for the work
