About

Conservator Amelia Bedson guides a Japanese Kintsugi workshop for beginners

Discover the ancient art of Kintsugi in a fun and creative way and create beautiful ceramic pieces to take home. Kintsugi celebrates the Japanese philosophy of the beauty of imperfection.

You’ll learn how to safely break pottery and to repair it with gold, thereby embracing the cracks to make unique pieces of art. You will be given your own toolbox which will contain all the items you need for this workshop. Your Kintsugi pieces will make beautiful mementoes of the day which can be used as ornaments or as gifts.

No previous experience is necessary. All materials are provided.

Location and access: The workshop will take place in the upstairs Community Room at South Square Centre, Thornton Road, BD13 3LD. A chairlift provides access to the Community Room, and seating will be available for anyone who prefers to remain seated during the session. South Square Centre is easily accessible by public transport, and free on-street parking is available nearby.
