Fun Kintsugi classes in Sydney

Kintsugi for beginners

Kintsugi has been around for centuries and is the intricate Japanese art of repairing broken pottery using lacquer and fine gold powder. The idea behind this very special art form is awe-inspiring. Kintsugi stems from the belief that our material items shouldn’t be cast away in the unfortunate event that they are broken. Instead, you can take those shattered fragments and put them together again in a way that makes the finished piece even more beautiful than before. Of course, this hobby takes mindfulness and patience, but what you get in return is a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that is unrivalled. 

As this hobby is so detail-oriented, it can be helpful to start out learning from some of the top Kintsugi teachers in Sydney. Kintsugi classes in Sydney not only teach you the skills needed for this practice but also the philosophy and history of it so you can appreciate your work more. This is what makes these workshops and courses perfect for beginners too!

Kintsugi classes are some of the best indoor activities Sydney has to offer when it comes to tranquillity and meditation. While you might not be tempted to break all of your pottery at home so that you can keep practising Kintsugi, we can bet that you’ll want to sign up for more of these Sydney workshops in the future.
