Class description
This Kintsugi workshop near Berlin focuses on the Japanese art of ceramic repair. Kintsugi is more than just a technique, but can be seen as a philosophical approach that accepts and even welcomes the faulty and imperfect.

After 25 years in the field of classical music management, I found my way to ceramics late on. My chance encounter with Ton and Raku in particular was decisive for the change of direction. I realized very soon that I had found what I had been looking for here.
