Authentic craftsmanship and natural materials
We take pride in preserving centuries of heritage through authentic Kintsugi practices. In our traditional classes, pieces are joined using natural Urushi tree sap blended with Tonoko clay powder and Jinoko earth powder. Finished pieces are dusted with fine brass powder for an ornamental sheen, while food-safe edible gold powder upgrades are available in the studio for pieces intended for dining.
We also offer a Modern Kintsugi option, which blends contemporary and traditional materials and provides an ideal introduction for beginners.
Intensive course and masterclass
If you are passionate about Authentic Kintsugi but have limited time to commit, don’t worry. Our intensive two-day course offers an authentic introduction to this traditional art.
For those looking to deepen their Kintsugi techniques and develop the skills to complete more complex restorations, our advanced masterclass provides the ideal next step.
The mindful spirit of
Wabi-Sabi
Kintsugi is far more than mending broken ceramics. Every deliberate brushstroke, cleaning step, and polishing motion offers a quiet, Zen-like mindfulness. By dedicating time to genuine craftsmanship, you learn to step away from instant fixes and embrace the profound beauty of imperfection and time.
