Kintsugi Ceramic Repair

  • Alchemy Art Center 1255 Wold Road Friday Harbor, WA, 98250 United States (map)

Repair broken pottery pieces brought from home with kintusgi! Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with an adhesive dusted or mixed with powdered pigment.

Participants will learn how to repair their ceramic or glass pieces with high-strength glue and pigments of their choice, and the resulting work will be ready to take home at the end of class - no firing needed!

The philosophy of kintsugi is about reframing the notion of something being "broken." Rather than trying to hide the broken parts, cracks become the design focus of the piece, a part of the story of the object. We love this approach to pottery and to life!

This class is taught by Seattle-based ceramic artist Dustin Low.
