Select a date from the drop-down menu. In this workshop, students will learn about the origins of Kintsugi, the Japanese 'art of golden repair,' and its meaning as it relates to one's own life. Instructor Luis Santiago explains, In these uncertain and crazy times, I believe people can find some solace and comfort in realizing that their so called scars and imperfections are things that do not need to be hidden or ashamed of. While the traditional craft of Kintsugi can take multiple months to complete, mastery in application, and involves toxic lacquer, the techniques used in this workshop to repair two ceramic pieces and embellish these pieces in two distinct Kintsugi-inspired ways brings it to a much wider audience and allows for completion in one workshop. All materials are included. Students will learn two distinct ways of highlighting the breaks of their provided ceramic pieces and will take home a unique piece. Ages 17+ are welcome. • Military and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Homeschoolers: Click here for enrollment details. • If this class is full, click here to be added to the Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
