Join Kintsugi Australia for their Sydney workshops, where you will learn the Japanese art of Kintsugi over three sessions!
“Kintsugi” is a traditional Japanese technique used to repair broken ceramics, which has been practised for over 500 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.
You will be able to master the traditional art of Kintsugi in only three lessons.
Please note:
Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners, at Mon 19 Apr at 3:30pm
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop, at Tue 20 Apr at 10:30am
After the first session, subsequent sessions can be arranged with the teacher, at a time that suits you.
Kintsugi Australia is located in Sydney and the only organisation in Australia completely specialised in kintsugi, offering private and group lessons, repair and kintsugi artistic creations. After completing the traditional course, the students can join the Kintsugi Dojo where they can continue to create their own work of art, and they can improve their technique to become kintsugi masters.
Kintsugi Dojo is available only in Sydney main studio, but online Dojo is starting in February 2021.
Beginner’s, Traditional and Kintsugi accessory courses are held in Melbourne nearly every month and occasionally in Brisbane.
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.
Jun Morooka was born in Tokyo in 1959. He moved to Sydney in 1987 and in 2008 he started to manage a Japanese restaurant called JIPANG. He fell in love with kintsugi after watching a TV documentary. He decided to go back to Japan to train with five kintsugi masters in Kanazawa and Tokyo. In 2018, he established Kintsugi Australia in Sydney.
Jun Morooka teaches Traditional Kintsugi and Modern Kintsugi in Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle, he exhibited his artwork at the Sydney Adventist Hospital in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Department. "Kibou" and "Negai" were displayed in the hospital to show that scars can become beautiful.
In June 2020, "Jikuu" was selected as a finalist in the 2020 Northern Beaches Art Prize - Open Category. The artwork was selected among over 800 entries and was displayed during an online exhibition (31 July - 30 September 2020).
Jun Morooka has appeared on a number of media outlets, such as ABC News and SBS Australia. An audio interview is available on SBS Japanese Radio and a video interview on SBS Australia Facebook page. He was also featured on ELLE DECOR (Spain).
Jun Morooka was invited to give a kintsugi lesson during the TV Show The Bachelor Australia aired on Channel 10 on the 17th of September 2020.
