Details
We are offering a kintsugi workshop where you will learn the art of repairing and decoration with urushi (lacquer) and gold powder.
In our workshop, we will focus on teaching “Kinmaki” , which is the final stage of kintsugi, sprinkling gold powder to decorate the artwork. We will prepare the lacquer foundation for you and you can learn how to do the “Kinmaki” using 23k gold powder and 100% natural lacquer extracted from sap of urushi tree!
The Workshop will take about 2 hours. Workshop fee includes tuition, all materials and refreshments.
After the decoration, the lacquer will take at least 5-7 days to dry. You can come pick it up after afterwards or we can also send you the finished artwork by courier with additional shipping cost.
It is also possible to finish and take it home on the same day! If you wish we can also choose a different material to speed up the drying up process.
