Kintsugi for Beginners

This beginner’s workshop introduces participants to the art of Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken ceramics with gold-infused lacquer, emphasizing the beauty of imperfections. Using a small porcelain or ceramic plate provided by the instructor, attendees will learn fundamental techniques with food-safe materials, including artificial Urushi resin, epoxy putty, and ceramic glue. Designed for those interested in Kintsugi, this hands-on experience offers a safe and accessible way to explore its philosophy of resilience and transformation.

This event is a collaboration between Japanese Culture Center and Heritage Museum of Chicago.
