Experience the beauty of Kintsugi in a peaceful Tokyo studio, where broken pottery is transformed into art. Guided by a skilled instructor, you’ll repair a ceramic piece using traditional techniques that highlight cracks with shimmering gold. Learn the philosophy behind Kintsugi—embracing imperfections as part of an object’s history—while applying lacquer, setting the fragments, and adding the final gold finish.
