Kintsugi

Embark on a transformative journey of healing and self-discovery with our Kintsugi session, a captivating art form that celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Rooted in ancient Japanese philosophy, Kintsugi, or “golden joinery,” is a therapeutic practice that not only mends broken objects but also serves as a metaphor for embracing our own scars and vulnerabilities.

Participants will learn the delicate and meditative process of repairing shattered ceramics using a special lacquer infused with powdered gold or other precious metals. As you mend the fractured pieces, you’ll witness a masterpiece emerge—one that uniquely marries the scars of the past with the brilliance of gold, creating a stunning metaphor for resilience and self-acceptance.

Students have the option to bring their own pottery, but rest assured that pottery will be provided during the session for use.

This process requires a level of hand dexterity/mobilisation- if you require assistance or need to bring someone with you, please email the Recovery College after enrolling.
