Ever see pictures of ceramics where there’s an odd but definitely very beautiful golden line running through the piece? That, friend, is kintsugi. ‘Joining with gold’ would be an approximate translation from the Japanese, and it’s a centuries-old technique for repairing stuff, using lacquer dusted with powdered gold.
It’s a proper art form, and lucky for you the friendly folk at Japan House want to share the knowledge with everyone. From February 27 to the end of May, the Kensington venue will be offering introductions and demonstrations, so we can all repair our own broken and chipped ceramics at home.
Workshops are on March 27, April 30 and May 28. Each day consists of two sessions, one starting at 1.30pm and the other at 4pm.
