Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair") is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

In this workshop you can bring your own items for repair or we will have items available for a higher price point. All supplies needed for the mending and repair will be provided.

Hosted at The Rope Collective studio in Barrio Logan. You can find our studio access information under the "Contact" page on our website and the link will be sent in email confirmation under "Additional Information" section.
