This is a fun activity in Fenstanton, Peterborough
Join local teacher Paula in her pottery studio in Huntingdon for a relaxing and fascinating look at the Japanese art of fixing with gold.
Kintsugi is the Japanese pottery technique of mending broken ceramics and uses powdered gold, silver or platinum to highlight the repair. The philosophy of this beautiful process is to honour the restoration of the item as part of its story rather than working to disguise any imperfections.
In this two-hour, hands-on workshop, you will learn how to use modern materials to fix your Easter inspired ceramic egg whilst still appreciating the traditional Japanese method and backstory. You will learn how epoxy glue and gold mica powder can be used to mend cracks and add sparkling veins to the egg.
For this workshop you will be provided with a ceramic egg to break at the start of the session which will then be repaired using the epoxy glue and gold mica powder mix to create a beautiful Easter decoration.
