Kintsugi Workshop: The Art of Broken Pottery

Wednesday, October 15, 1-4 pm
$100 ($80 Museum Members)
Instructed by Kurt Caddy
Fee includes: a hand-thrown tea bowl, all necessary supplies and tools, and instruction.

Kintsugi, meaning "golden joinery," is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and precious metals, highlighting rather than hiding the cracks. It symbolizes healing and embracing imperfections. This hands-on workshop offers a creative journey from brokenness to beauty, powerfully visualizing the message of resilience and transformation.

Kurt Caddy is an abstract artist based near Springfield, Missouri, where he draws inspiration from nature and family. His work, influenced by wabi-sabi and the Japanese art of kintsugi, emphasizes transformation through brokenness using rich textures, layered colors, and symbolic imagery. Through his unique materials and process, Kurt seeks to express the idea that beauty and redemption can emerge from imperfection.
