This is a fun activity in Maida Vale, London
Discover the mindful art of Kintsugi in London – the Japanese way of mending broken pottery with gold. Instead of hiding cracks, this beautiful technique celebrates them, turning once-loved but broken pieces into treasures full of history and character.
In this workshop, you'll be guided through the process of repairing your chosen item step by step. Using resin and gold powder, you’ll slowly piece things back together, enjoying a calming, thoughtful activity that’s all about patience and care -- no experience required! Perfect for anyone looking for fun things to do in London.
**What to expect:**
- A warm introduction to the philosophy and practice of Kintsugi.
- Step-by-step tuition in using resin glue and golden seams.
- Time to repair your own porcelain (vase, bowl, plate, or cup).
- All tools and materials provided for you to use on the day.
- A relaxed, mindful setting to enjoy some slow, creative making.
You’re welcome to bring along your own broken china to work on, but do keep in mind that bigger pieces may take longer to finish.
By the end of the session, you’ll head home with a beautifully repaired piece that shows off its golden seams – a reminder that our flaws and cracks can be something to treasure!
**Good to know**: For private classes, there is a £300 surcharge for groups.
