They should be ceramic, pottery, or porcelain, no glass or wood.- If you have family heirlooms or items that are broken into many pieces, they might be a bit tricky to fix for the first time. Instead, bring something simple and small.- The repaired items will be displayed because the repair materials aren’t safe for food contact.- Beginners and any skill level are welcome! Ages over 15 is recommended.- Bring a cardboard box or something similar to carry your items home without touching the repaired parts.- We’ll be using epoxy and Gamsol, which is a safer solvent, during the workshop.- If you have any food restrictions, please let us know when you sign up.Instructor infoEmi Joyce is a kintsugi instructor and restorer.
