Product Info

【Don't hide the damage, embrace it as beauty. Experience the traditional Japanese craft of 'Kintsugi'】 'Kintsugi' is the art of repairing broken or chipped pottery and beautifully highlighting the cracks with gold. Instead of erasing the damage, we embrace the cracks as part of the vessel's character, transforming them into a new form of beauty. Why not try your hand at creating your own piece while experiencing this unique Japanese aesthetic? In this workshop, you will use specialized tools and gold powder to experience the actual process of repairing pottery. As you carefully apply gold along the cracks and chips, what were once flaws transform into beautiful patterns. Since no two cracks or chips are ever the same, your finished piece will be truly one-of-a-kind. 'I've always been interested in Kintsugi, but it seems difficult...' For those who feel this way, our staff will provide careful support from how to use the tools to the final finishing touches, so you can enjoy the experience with ease. Even if you are a beginner at crafting or Kintsugi, please feel free to join us with confidence. 【Complete your own unique piece in about 1 hour】 The experience lasts about 60 minutes. You can take your finished piece home with you on the same day. It is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in crafting alone, or for couples, spouses, and friends to create their own individual pieces together. Why not add a special experience to your usual holiday or date? 【4-minute walk from Shinjuku Station】 The workshop is held at our studio in Shinjuku, making it easy to drop by before or after shopping or other outings. Since it only takes about an hour, it is easy to fit into your schedule. Kintsugi is the art of working on broken items to create a new kind of beauty. Beyond just making a piece, enjoy a time where you can touch upon Japanese crafts and aesthetics while working with your hands. Take this opportunity to finally try what you've always wanted to do. You will be able to take home a one-of-a-kind piece finished with your own hands. 【Recommended for】・Those who have always wanted to try Kintsugi ・Those who love traditional Japanese crafts and making things ・Those looking for an experience they can focus on and enjoy alone ・Those who want to enjoy a date or holiday that is a little different from usual ・Those who want to create and take home their own unique piece ・Those who want to enjoy crafting with friends or family * Guidance in English is also available.
