Teaching Artist: Leigh Ferello

Discover the beauty in imperfection through the art of Kintsugi—the traditional Japanese practice of mending broken pottery with a golden bond. Rather than disguising cracks, Kintsugi highlights them, transforming each piece into a unique and meaningful work of art.
In this 3-hour workshop, you'll mend your own decorative ceramic bowl (provided, styles vary), embracing flaws as part of its story. While traditional Kintsugi uses lacquer and gold powder, we’ll be using modern materials to ensure a comfortable and accessible experience.
Be prepared to take your time and enjoy the journey—this is a mindful, creative process that honors patience, presence, and personal expression.
Please note: Your finished piece is intended for decorative use only and should be left to dry overnight before taking it home.
