This Traditional Kintsugi Basic course is the one for whom would like to learn Japanese Traditional art of Kintsugi using natural materials.
This is the only place in Australia where you can learn the basics of Traditional Kintsugi in three sessions, and each session takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
“Kintsugi” is a traditional Japanese technique used to repair broken ceramics, which has been practised for over 550 years. In this course, you are able to learn this ceramic repair method, which has mostly used the same technique for over half a millennium!
In this course, you will also feel the “beauty of imperfection” and the philosophy behind Kintsugi. Kintsugi provides a perfect break from the busy lifestyle most people have today.
We use natural material include Urushi lacquer paint which need at least a week to dry it to process to the next. So participants need at least 7 days intervals between each lessons.
This course is not a course for making a beautiful Kintsugi art at the class, but we teach how to repair the broken pieces with Traditional Kintsugi method step by step.
When you started your own project at home, you need at least 6-8 weeks to repair one broken object that including drying time, because you need to do the same process again and again to make a beautiful Kintsugi line.
After completing this course, you will be able to repair your own pieces, and if you need our help, then you can participate the Kintsugi Dojo (practicing place).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Jun Morooka is a kintsugi master. He is an expert in the Traditional Kintsugi method with natural lacquer (urushi) and gold. He has also developed his own method using modern material, bringing innovation to an ancient technique. He accepts commissions to repair broken pottery and ceramics with kintsugi.
