Kintsugi Accessory Workshop - Brisbane
Learn how to make accessories with the Kintsugi technique
2 hours 15 mins
1 to 6
label
$130
What you'll do
Kintsugi is the Japanese ancient method of repairing broken pottery and in this fun and hands-on workshop in Brisbane, you will use that technique to make beautiful accessories to take home! You will create accessories with different parts joined together (継ぎtsugi) using beautiful gold (金Gold) lines.
In this beginner’s workshop, you will learn some of the techniques of Kintsugi and the basic knowledge required for making accessories.
During the workshop, you will make Three pieces. Please choose from the below on the day:
- One pair of pierced earrings (or ear clips) AND
- One pendant top OR one brooch top
You can choose materials from ceramics, acryl parts, beach glasses and metal parts.
The Kintsugi technique you’ll learn is similar to the one used 550 years ago, but we use modern materials (epoxy glue instead of lacquer, brass powder instead of pure gold) which don’t require as many processes as the traditional one. The appearance of the final product made using the modern technique is very similar to that of a Kintsugi piece made using the traditional technique.
After completing this class, you will take your creations home and can continue to create your own accessories with broken ceramics, shells or glass from the beach, or even your treasures joined together!
Please note:
- Let us know if you have any allergies.
- We do not recommend this workshop if you’re pregnant due to the use of epoxy glue and putty.

Had a wonderful afternoon with Jun and Hitomi. They were helpful and answered questions so positively when needed. I did the Accessories class. The explanations were clear and Hitomi explained the steps well and at a good pass. The thought the selection of ceramics and glass was good. The venue was excellent and the whole experience was positive. I would highly recommend this class. It’s great to do alone or with a group of friends. Glenys
