Description

Japanese Kintsugi Workshop Kintsugi is the beautiful Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold. This workshop will involve learning both traditional and modern skills of repairing ceramics. We will then work with a ceramic which will be lovingly repaired using various lacquers and gold metal powder. Each piece restored will be unique and beautiful. This is a wonderful metaphor for life. The cracks and our experiences in life make us stronger, unique and beautiful. The course will take place in The Studio, a rural retreat in the heart of the Peak District National Park. My Kintsugi artwork is featured in the October 2019 issue of Uppercase Magazine. "Absolutely every aspect of the day was wonderful. The course surpassed my expectations in every way. As someone who is not at all artistic, Pippa's teaching style and meticulous attention to detail in the preparation of resources ensured that I felt really delighted with the artwork I produced. The pace of the day was just right and the amazing cakes provided as part of the experience were above and beyond what I think any of us expected. I have come home feeling thoroughly uplifted and inspired. Thank you!" Feedback from one of my classes. Rachael Turbatu
