In this 4-part class we will practice the 500-year-old Japanese Art of Kintsugi: mending a broken piece of pottery with gold. Kintsugi highlights imperfection, and serves as a metaphor for accepting flaws and brokenness.  Our repaired pieces will be more beautiful in their brokeness than they were before. We will experience breaking a ceramic cup, and then repairing it with gold, using non-toxic and food-safe materials.   The price for this class includes a $35 materials fee.
