Kintsugi Ceramic Repair Workshop at Edendale
(+2 more dates)
Description
Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold or lacquer to celebrate the imperfections, not hide them. The philosophy of Kintsugi is about loving your own flaws too and finding happiness in imperfection.
