What you'll do
Do you have a cherished family heirloom, broken at the back of your cupboard? Are you a potter with lots of broken pots that you don't know what to do with? Are you a glass artist and have opened the kiln to find out the kiln gods were not in your favour! Or, do you just fancy smashing up a pot or plate and add to its history? If you answered "Yes" to any of these then learning the art of Contemporary Kintsugi is a must for you!
Kintsugi (golden joinery) first started in Japan around 500 years ago. The philosophy of Kintsugi is to celebrate the damage caused to a vessel, by showcasing the cracks and damage with the use of pure gold and resin. Instead of hiding the imperfections, they should be celebrated – a philosophy that is seen not only for craft, but perhaps also for life.
Favoured family ceramics and heirlooms were once repaired with ugly staples or bound together with glue that could not hide the cracks or repairs. Japanese craftsmen overcame this problem by binding the piece back together with a permanent adhesive made of natural resins and powdered gold. The repairs thus became highly visible and showcased the repairs as part of the history of the unit. The style became so popular that people would deliberately smash or damage valuable pieces for them to be repaired in this way.
In this one-day class, we will have our guest gilder Richard Walker leading a class that looks at the art of Kintsugi, using contemporary glues and 23.5 carat gold-leaf. You may bring broken pieces from home to work on or bring along a piece to break specifically for the course. You may also work on as many pieces in the one day as time will allow.
Small pieces of missing ceramic/china may be recreated, using modern epoxy resins (up to around one-two cm).

Your teacher
Angelina and Cathy met by chance whilst selling their work in Penarth, Christmas 2013. Their shared love of all things glass saw them develop a friendship and continue to work together.
Their first idea was to develop an Open Studio trail for any local artist/crafter during the annual Penarth festival that following summer. It has fast become an established part of the festival and is developing year on year.
They then joined a designer-maker section in a local Penarth shop where their customer base was steadily growing. Customers embraced the idea of bespoke, locally made pieces, rather than mass-produced imported ones that have saturated the marketplace.
Their next logical step was to be able to work on-site and pass their love of the process of hand-making in glass to others. Hence, Glass By Design was born.
