This two-hour workshop takes place in Tokyo and teaches the traditional Japanese art of pure gold kintsugi, a technique for repairing broken, chipped, or cracked pottery using lacquer mixed with pure gold powder. Participants learn how kintsugi views cracks and chips not as damage to hide but as part of the object's history, decorating the breaks with gold to restore and give new life to the piece. The lacquer used in the process is derived from the poison oak tree, a natural adhesive that hardens safely and is harmless to humans. The workshop is led by Master Taku, who received the Medal with Dark Blue Ribbon in 2024 for significant achievements in art and craftsmanship. All necessary equipment and materials are provided, including a plate for use during the lesson that participants keep afterward. The session fee includes all taxes, fees, and handling charges. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel transfers are not included.
