川田まりな　金継ぎ教室

Join us for an intimate and practice-based kintsugi workshop with kintsugi artist Marina Kawata in io.

Starting September 3rd, the workshop takes nine weeks to complete, consisting of a total of five classes held every other week.

Each participant should bring a small, broken ceramic item to be repaired during classes, such as a teacup or small bowl (please see guidelines below).

After completing the workshop, the participant will know how to repair ceramics using traditional kintsugi techinques, based on natural urushi lacquer and pure keshifun gold or silver powder.

The workshop takes place in the teahouse in Blågårdsgade, with complimentary seasonal teas from io being served during classes.

The workshop is limited to a maximum of four participants. We kindly ask all participants to carefully read the information below before purchasing a ticket.
