SIMPLE KINTSUGI
with Jan Vingerhoets
The Japanese art of repairing broken ceramic pieces using gold powder and lacquer, under the wabi-sabi world view - the acceptance of transience and imperfection - the recognition of the beauty in the scars, to be celebrated and honoured, not rejected and discarded.
This is a very basic introduction to the technique and some of the philosophy of Kintsugi. We will be using "cheat" methods and materials, as well as some of my own variations on the fill.
Every participant will get a broken piece to practice with and, if time permits you can try to repair a piece of your own. Materials included - bring a piece to repair - if you dare!
(Light refreshments provided.)
