Through our established partnership, Jun and Hitomi will intermittently conduct Kintsugi workshops based on demand.
Ian, Amanda, and Lauryn, students of Kintsugi Australia, will also host workshops in between.
In this ongoing class, participants are asked to bring their own special pieces, embracing the profound metaphor of Kintsugi – the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with precious materials such as gold. We will be following Kintsugi Australia’s Jun Moorooka’s modern Kintsugi techniques.
This class centres on the therapeutic process of repair, prioritising the journey over the final outcome. By investing time and care into mending your unique project, you not only craft something new but also emphasise the inherent beauty in the cracks and fractures. This experience is particularly poignant for individuals navigating grief, offering a symbolic and tangible representation of finding new beauty in the mended.
Encouraging open discussion and camaraderie, our ongoing Kintsugi class provides a supportive space for personal reflection and growth. While dialogue is welcomed, it is not mandatory, allowing participants to engage with the transformative process at their own pace. Join us in embracing the art of repair and uncovering the profound beauty that arises from acknowledging and revitalizing what was once broken.
There is a pre-requisite to this class. We have partnered with Jun and Hitomi from Kintsugi Australia, who are kindly providing us with the knowledge, skills and techniques to be able to continue and share their legacy.
In order to attend you must have completed the ‘modern kintsugi class’ with Kintsugi Australia. They have a full time Kintsugi Dojo in Sydney and classes in Melbourne and Brisbane. They will also be providing this modern Kintsugi Class at our Raven Heart Creative Space periodically.
Please call Ian for more details.
