- Paleisstraat 107 - Embark on the enchanting world of Kintsugi, a Japanese art restoring beauty to imperfections with golden leaf glue.
Originating in the 15th century, Kintsugi revitalizes cracked pottery, turning fractures into intricate golden patterns. Aligned with contemporary design trends, it celebrates imperfection, natural materials, and craftsmanship. Our workshops embody the beauty in imperfections, inspired by Japanese wabi-sabi.
Experience highlights:
- A serene introduction sets the tone.
- Break a plate symbolically, signifying a fresh start.
- Patiently reassemble shards, witnessing their transformation into something uniquely beautiful.
Engage in this hands-on activity to discover deep focus, refine motor skills, and gain insights applicable to daily life. Kintsugi is more than art; it’s a metaphor for letting go, embracing new beginnings, and finding beauty in resilience.
This immersive journey transcends mere repair, delving into healing wounds, uncovering meaning in scars, and celebrating the profound beauty in life’s imperfections. Join us for a creative, mindful exploration of the imperfect
- an authentic expression of the art of Kintsugi.

The Kintsugi workshop stands out by delving into the ancient Japanese craft of mending. Kintsugi, instead of hiding defects, highlights and rejoices them, turning the repaired item into a singular and attractive masterpiece. Attendees not only pick up a crafting technique, but also learn a significant life lesson in accepting flaws and finding charm in endurance.
