Workshop Title: Kintsugi: The Art of Golden Repair

Date: Saturday, 6/27

Time: 1:00 pm-4:00 pm

Location: The Joel Center | 115 W Young St, Rolesville, NC

Instructor: Annelies Gentile

Join us as we explore the art of repair through an easy version of the 15th- Century practice of Kintsugi, meaning “to join with gold”. The essence of Kintsugi is about recognizing the beauty and strength in the broken parts made whole. Expect to break some pottery and glue it back together with epoxy and gold colored mica. The ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi can help us accept our losses, flaws, and hurts by embracing "broken as a beautiful" as an artistic practice.The precious art of fusing pieces back together signifies strength, confidence, and value of transforming our own breaks into valuable unique marks of beauty. Join us! Facilitated by Artist and Integrative Life and Leadership Coach, Annelies Gentile, MA, PCC of Conduit for Change.
