Discover the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, a practice that honors the beauty of imperfection by repairing broken pottery with gold. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore themes of resilience and transformation while learning a Kintsugi-inspired technique to restore a ceramic piece of your own.
This workshop is inspired by artist Yeesookyung’s Translated Vase, currently on view in the Lovett Gallery. Bring a broken ceramic piece you’d like to mend or use one provided by the Museum.
