Overview
Turn something old into something new during this lesson in the Japanese art of "Kintsugi," the practice of repairing broken pottery. Stemming from a Japanese belief that breakage and repair are part of the history of an object, rather than a reason to throw them away, your class involves repairing damaged items with lacquer mixed with gold. Don a "samue" as you refinish one traditional pottery item, leaving with a newfound appreciation for Japanese aesthetics and a unique souvenir.

- Discover the philosophy behind this unique art, reflecting a Japanese belief in repairing, rather than wasting, broken pottery
- Don the traditional "samue'" work clothes) of the Japanese craftsman
