Workshop Agenda

Experience Wabi-Sabi: An Introduction to Kintsugi
Immerse yourself in the world of Kintsugi, where the core philosophy of Wabi-sabi - a central aspect of Japanese life and aesthetics - comes to life. In this workshop, you'll interact with an original pottery piece crafted by Master artist Taku Nakano, a small plate that becomes your canvas for the day.

Artistic Tools: Master Taku's Hand-crafted Pottery and Materials
At your disposal will be an exquisite pottery piece, hand-crafted by Master Taku himself, alongside carefully chosen materials intended to impart a true sense of Wabi-Sabi. This vessel, steeped in rustic lacquer, showcases a distinct Sabi-feeling, signifying a sense of worldly wisdom and age.

Mastering Kintsugi: A Unique Approach
Learn to work with Master Taku's unique Kintsugi method, which sharpens thin lines to align with the pottery's cracks. Unlike traditional Kintsugi, where gold is sprinkled on a brush-painted line, this innovative technique involves direct gold dyeing. This approach, mastered over time, allows even beginners to create thin and beautiful Kintsugi in a surprisingly short span.

Hands-on Learning: Practical Kintsugi Technique
Under Master Taku's watchful eye, you'll delve into the practical aspects of Kintsugi. Experience the entire process hands-on, from preparing the materials to executing the final touches.

The Final Product: Embrace Imperfection
In keeping with the spirit of Wabi-sabi, celebrate the imperfect beauty of your Kintsugi creation. The gold-adorned cracks serve as a reminder of resilience, standing testament to an item's journey.

Taking Your Art Home
The best part? You can take your Kintsugi masterpiece home on the same day!

Note on Safety Measures
Our studio provides gloves for your protection from potential irritants in traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer.
