This is a fun activity in Stoke Newington, London
Discover the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi by repairing a handmade ceramic pot created by one of our studio potters. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn traditional-inspired repair techniques and leave with your own unique piece to take home.
Guided by our experienced ceramicists, you'll restore a broken pot using the principles of Kintsugi, celebrating cracks and imperfections rather than hiding them. No previous experience is required, making this a relaxing and rewarding introduction to this timeless craft.
About Kintsugi
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, meaning "golden joinery") is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by highlighting rather than concealing the cracks. Traditionally, broken pieces are rejoined using lacquer mixed or dusted with precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum.
Beyond its technique, Kintsugi embraces the Japanese philosophy of **wabi-sabi**—finding beauty in imperfection—and reflects the idea that damage and repair become part of an object's history rather than something to hide.
