Description
Discover the beauty of Kintsugi in this engaging, hands-on workshop. Guided by Andri Maimaridou, a professional ceramics conservator who works with Kirsten Ramsay from The Repair Shop and is a Visiting Lecturer at West Dean College, you will learn to transform a pre-broken ceramic bowl into a one-of-a-kind piece with golden seams, using safe, modern materials that honour the spirit of the tradition. Along the way, you’ll hear about the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which celebrates imperfection and transformation. By the end, you’ll leave with your own completed Kintsugi piece to treasure — a symbol of resilience and creativity. To make the experience even more special, each participant will enjoy a complimentary glass of Prosecco as part of the session.
