Study all the necessary steps to create your own Kintsugi project. You will transform your broken object into a veritable work of art.
After an introduction to the Kintsugi philosophy, you will learn how to make the lacquer glue, then put your broken (into 2 to 4 pieces) ceramic piece together. You can also purchase an object at the studio. Then the clay filler will be applied to fill up cracks and chipped areas.
The 2nd day, you will sand the clay paste to prepare the application of black lacquer. Gilding is then done in the afternoon, as is packaging for transport.
