Tsugi Group Experience for 20

This meta-modern Kintsugi experienc will combine a touch of irreverent zen, the centuries-old practice of Japanese ceramic repair, with an imaginative meditation and a tea discussion along the themes of impermanence and rebuilding anew. Through shattering and repairing, we will explore acceptance, allowance, and redesign from the ever-changing, imperfect, beautiful sculpture of our lives.

All participants will leave with a finished Kintsugi Ceramic Piece and an accompanying paper.

All materials are provided, including a ceramic cup for breaking, though guests are welcome to bring their own smaller, glazer broken ceramic piece if desired.

Feel free to also bring something to write on and wear clothes that can get a little dirty.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ)- the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, silver, or lacquer.

This technique emphasizes the scars rather than hiding them. Kintsugi has been revered in Japan since ancient times as an art form that embraces imperfection and revitalizes it. Traditional Kintsugi requires as long as two months to complete, but this workshop uses a food-safe epoxy that hardens in a short time, known as modern Kintsugi.

"For me the very best things in the world emerge from the ashes. When our whole world falls apart, we are given a very rare chance to practice absolute stillness. It’s not about overcoming the current problem and everything becoming 'ok' again, but it’s about becoming ok with what is.

At this very moment right now,

then this moment now,

and now again."
