Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi? It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold, making its imperfections its beauty. Nothing is ever really broken, but new life and meaning are brought back, making your piece a work of art and truly something special.
The traditional Japanese art uses a precious metal—liquid gold, liquid silver, or lacquer dusted with powdered gold or silver—to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item and at the same time enhance the breaks.
In this class, we will be using contemporary materials so you can experience and understand the new and old techniques.
By the end of the class, you will take away your wonderful finished work, plus your new skills which will enable you to further your own Kintsugi in your own time.
This class is not just for budding or accomplished artists. It is for everyone to enjoy a relaxing day of art and design with Ema.

Ema Frost burst onto the Auckland art scene in 2010 and has been captivating her fans with her unique style ever since. Her bright colours give life to beautiful images, the inspiration for which comes from Ema’s fascination and deep respect for the mystery and magic found in Maori and Japanese folklore. The often delicate and always delightful characters she creates are the perfect marriage of these mythical cultures. Part of the charm of her work is in the little idiosyncrasies that can be found only upon closer inspection of her images. Look carefully and you’ll see little characters peeking out from unsuspecting places and the omniscient Tiki watermark that protects all life in the world of her imagination.
Not one to stand still, Ema regularly travels extensively, finding inspiration off the beaten path. Like the characters that are hidden in her work, Ema tests the boundaries of her imagination when she loses herself in the unfamiliar land and cityscapes that are beyond our shores. The tales and trinkets she brings back from her travels are her constant reminders that there is more out there than our everyday existence. Ema also leaves a touch of Frost behind in every country she visits; her work can be found in galleries in Japan, India, Germany, and across North America. This allows Ema to collaborate with artists from around the world.
While Ema enjoys travelling and experiencing other cultures, she’s also extremely passionate about giving back to her own community and supports various charities that are close to her heart. Ronald McDonald House, Breast Cancer Cure, and KidsCanNZ are just a handful of charities that she supports through donating her work to auctions and fundraisers.
