About this experience
Get to know the art of Japanese repair from the ground up at the traditional kintsugi workshop in Hamburg. Over seven consecutive appointments, you will accompany the entire Kintsugi process — from gluing and repairing to finishing with brass, copper or tin powder. You'll work with authentic Urushi paint, repair up to two of your own ceramic objects and gain exciting insights into the history and philosophy of Kintsugi. Due to the small group size, you benefit from personal support throughout the course.
