*sold out* Kintsugi at Budo Bath
11 February @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Location: Budo Bath, 3 Argyle Street, Bathwick, Bath, BA2 4BA
Price: £28
Rebalance and relax at Budo Bath learning about this mindful and ancient craft, and mend your own piece of china in this practical workshop.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
Kintsugi, the Japanese art of embracing your imperfections. Learn how to mend once loved china and earthenware in this mindful introduction to the Kintsugi method. The visible repairs are seen as part of the history of an object, highlighting the cracks and symbolising fragility, strength and beauty. This golden repair is called Kintsugi.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP?
Repair and join together the fractures using the Japanese Kintsugi method – applying the resin glue, and liquid gold to the broken sections, making it whole once more. The imperfections aren’t to be hidden but embraced! The Kintsugi method celebrates the beauty of the scars in an object and recognises that the history should be shown and not hidden. Choose your broken porcelain (vase, bowl, plate or cup), and be taken by Claire, step by step through the technique of mending each section piece by piece. This is very much a thoughtful and methodical process….not to be rushed, where each piece is applied and repaired carefully.
THE ALL IMPORTANT DETAILS
The kit will be provided for you. You can bring your own china but we can’t guarantee it’ll be finished on time as the process needs to be done with patience. The class will run for approx. 90 mins at Budo Bar in Bath.
