Are you looking for some relaxing things to do in London? Come and enjoy the mindful benefits of kintsugi as you fix broken pottery with beautiful gold veins.
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese mending method that doesn't hide the cracks but highlights them using a fine gold substance. It comes from the wabi-sabi philosophy of embracings flaws and imperfections. During this two-hour kintsugi class you will discover more about this wonderful Japanese art, its rich history, and the value of making something broken whole again.
All the materials you need are provided from the broken ceramics to the epoxy glue and putty you will use to put it back together. You can also bring along any broken pieces you have and mend them, building your knowledge so you can apply this technique to your daily life.
You'll be guided through this intriguing and calming process by Alice, a talented artist and keen supporter of kintsugi and the philosophies behind it. She approached kintsugi as a way of preserving the many items she (and her cat) have dropped. Leaving her with plenty of broken ceramics that have been made more valuable by adding gold to them.
Alice will give you some advice on where to get materials for even more kintsugi at home so you can put your new amazing skills to good use. You can then go home with your own gorgeous piece of art.
