Perfectly Imperfect: Japanese Art of Kintsugi Workshop
Join my mother and I on Saturday May 24th 10am-12 for another very special workshop!
As some of you may already know, my mom lived in Japan last year and spent many months in Kyoto studying ceramics under a Sensei, in an artist in residence program. She is leaving again for Japan later this year to work under another Sensei and will work under them until next year.

She is bringing what she learned to us all in the shop! Since her time in Japan she has begun teaching workshops, she put together a gallery show of her work in Barcelona, written and published two books and has sold her ceramics all over the country and internationally.
During this workshop you will:
-experience the art of kintsugi as it relates to Japanese culture and history in an accelerated course.
-actually go through the process of kintsugi, adhering broken pieces together, and painting them with gold to show the cracks
-take home a repaired piece of beautiful pottery, continuing its story with appreciation of this ancient art
-take home a specially curated treasures from WWW-A
-share Japanese tea from Uji served in the traditional way
We are thrilled to be hosting this unique experience here in the shop again!
