Spend your day at Be-Ras Creatives Art Cafe and discover the art of Kintsugi!
Mordern Kintsugi is the art of Japanese pottery restoration, where you can learn how to mend broken ceramics using epoxy glue and mica gold powder. The traditional technique used gold powder and lacquer to mend the pottery. In just two and half hours, you'll understand difference between the traditional and modern Kintsugi technique, history and philosophy of kintsugi and follow a step-by-step guide to create your own masterpiece.
During the workshop, we'll introduce you to the history of Kintsugi, where breakage and repair are regarded as integral parts of an object's story, rather than flaws to conceal. Under our guidance, you'll learn the contemporary approach to Kintsugi using epoxy adhesive and mica powder—a less allergenic, fast-drying, and cost-effective alternative to precious metals and lacquer.
In a world of disposables, join us in embracing sustainability and creativity while learning a new skill. Restore cherished objects with gold joinery and take home a piece of art that embodies resilience and beauty.

Rashmi is an architect turned crafter and small business owner with a vibrant cafe in the Docklands. She is someone who loves art and learning something new every day. Her journey to becoming an artist started with one art project at a time. She started making Kokedama’s and polymer clay earrings for a bit of fun. She loved it so much that she gifted a lot to her friends and which birthed her enthusiasm for handmade things. Soon they started making them together, and they all loved them so much that we decided to share the art with more people.
Creating something handmade is a fun process with lots of laughter and good coffee. You make new friends who love plants and art as much as you do.
