As we repair, we reflect. As we mend, we transform.”In this 3-hour session, students will learn and apply the modern Kintsugi method using food-safe adhesive, epoxy putty, and golden finish. The technique is safe for beginners and designed to make the centuries-old practice accessible in a single-day format. Rather than erasing damage, Kintsugi highlights each crack as part of an object’s unique story — inviting us to reflect on beauty, imperfection, and transformation.For beginner students, a broken porcelain or ceramic plate will be provided, allowing them to experience the full repair process from start to finish.For returning students, or those with previous experience, you’re welcome to bring your own broken ceramic objects (must be clean) or choose from more complex forms provided by the instructor.This workshop offers a supportive, meditative space for reflection and creativity. All materials are provided, and finger covers are available to use, though handling epoxy can sometimes leave a light residue for a day or two.“Kintsugi is based on the philosophy that breakage and repair are something to celebrate – embracing flaws and imperfections creates a stronger and more beautiful piece of art. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing what feels broken, we become more unique, beautiful, and resilient. Kintsugi can be a way to reframe personal challenges. Reminding us that we’re not victims of our circumstances. Showing us that we can come out on the other side stronger.” -- Here is a quote about Kintsugi from , a certified life coach. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/703eebd0-151e-11f1-a42f-6bbe36c86375-rimg-w740-h740-dc5f4e41-gmir.jpg About Mami Takahashi:Mami Takahashi is a Japanese multidisciplinary artist and a scholar working in multiple cities including Chicago and Tokyo.
