Learn the philosophy behind Kintsugi—embracing imperfections as part of an object’s history—while applying lacquer, setting the fragments, and adding the final gold finish. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your restored piece, a meaningful reminder of resilience, craftsmanship, and the elegance found in imperfection.
