Make & Take: Cracks of Gold: Fixing Broken Ceramics with Gold

Make & Take: Cracks of Gold: Fixing Broken Ceramics with Gold

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.

Make & Take classes offer an introductory hands-on experience for visitors who want to try a new technique in a relaxed, welcoming environment. In these sessions, participants receive a brief overview of materials and techniques, then focus on guided experimentation and completing a project to take home.

These classes are ideal for beginners, curious learners, and anyone looking to try something new. They are designed for creative exploration and do not include advanced instruction or extended skill development.
