About this class

Discover the Kintsugi workshop in Berlin: Learn the Japanese art of healing fractures with gold.

Dive into the fascinating world of Japanese kintsugi art! In this two-hour workshop in Berlin, you will learn how fractures are not hidden but emphasized with gold. Using the traditional Maki-e spreading technique, you create your own Kintsugi image and gain exciting insights into the philosophy of wabi-sabi — beauty in imperfect. Ideal for trying things out and for creative minds!

What you’ll do in the class

The participants create a picture in the style of the Japanese “kintsugi” method, learning the “Maki-e” scattering technique to accentuate the broken points with gold. At the same time, they deepen their understanding of Wabi-Sabi aesthetics, which honors beauty in imperfection.

Who is the class suitable for?

The workshop is perfect for anyone who is interested in traditional Japanese art and enjoys discovering new repair options. No previous experience is required.
