Join us Sunday, Mar 1st from 2-5pm for a hands-on workshop where you will learn to repair your ceramics with a modern take on an ancient art form. Limited seats!

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, gold joinery) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. Fractures are no longer weak points, but beautiful elements. This philosophy is often taught as embracing imperfections in our life, the beauty of human flaws.

During the 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to repair ceramics with the modern Kintsugi methods finishing the joints with gold powder.

This class will be taught by Emi Joyce, formerly a full-time bench jeweler and apparel designer, currently a kintsugi restorer and a natural dyer. You can learn more about her kintsugi work via Instagram, @portlandkintsugirepair.
