Kintsugi for Beginners

Sunday, June 28th, 1:30pm - 4:00pm

with Mami Takahashi

Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form in which gold is used to repair broken ceramics. The practice of Kintsugi highlights the break rather than erasing it and emphasizes that the break is what makes the ceramics more valuable and beautiful. In this beginner’s workshop, participants will learn the basic technique of Kintsugi on a small porcelain plate or a small ceramic plate to understand the fundamentals of this process.

BLOOM: The Garden in Mixed Media Workshop

Saturday, June 27th, 10am - 4pm

We will work in the studio from a bountiful still life and weather permitting, sketch in the courtyard for a half hour. We are going to explore different approaches to creating in mixed media - drawing, painting, gel plate printing, image transfer, and working with collage - and we will combine them all into a small series of pieces by the end of the day. Lunch/break from 12:30-1:00 PM.
