What you'll do
Kintsugi is the Japanese ancient method of repairing broken pottery. In this fun and hands on class you will use that technique to make beautiful accessories! You will create accessories with different parts joint together (継ぎtsugi) using beautiful gold（金Gold) lines!
In this beginner’s class, you will learn some of the techniques of Kintsugi and basic knowledge required for making accessories.
You will make two pieces. Please choose from the below on the day:
- One pair of pierced earrings (or ear clips)
- One pendant top and one brooch
You can choose materials from ceramics, acryl parts, Beach glasses and metal parts.
The Kintsugi technique you’ll learn is the similar to 500 years ago, but we use modern materials (epoxy glue instead of lacquer, brass powder instead of pure gold) which doesn’t need 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.
At the end of this class you can create your own accessories with broken ceramics, shells or glass from the beach, or even your treasures joined together!
After completing the beginner’s course, you can step up to the advanced course.
Aside from this class, this teacher also has the following coming up:
-
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Melbourne), at Sun 23 Aug at 9:30am
-

Knowledge Required
Perfect for beginners.
What you'll get
All materials will be included as well as tea time. You can choose from ceramics, acryl parts, beach glass and metal parts and you will leave with your own set of Kintsugi accessories
What to bring
Remember to wear old clothes just in case.
Your teacher
Jun moved from Tokyo, Japan to Sydney, Australia in the mid 80', but it was much later until he fell in love with the art of Kinstugi in the mid 2010's where he returned to Japan to pursue more knowledge in the art of Kinstugi.
Since 2015 he has learnt the art from five different masters of the art in Japan. He has now come back to Sydney Australia to teach everyone of all ages wishing to learn and develop their skills in Kinstugi.
He founded Kintsugi Australia in 2018 to spread the knowledge and beauty of kintsugi to Aussies and the world.
