Kintsugi Workshop at The Beacon Portal, Whitehaven

Discover the ancient art of Kintsugi in a fun and creative way and create beautiful ceramic pieces to take home. Kintsugi celebrates the Japanese philosophy of the beauty of imperfection. In this workshop you’ll learn how to safely break pottery and to repair it with gold, thereby embracing the cracks to make unique pieces of art.

Your two Kintsugi pieces will make beautiful mementoes of the day which can be used as ornaments or as gifts.
All materials and use of equipment are included in the price, along with a glass of fizz and a tasty treat.
