Intro to Kintsugi (Japanese pottery repair)

Unleash your creativity and learn the art of Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese pottery repair technique, in our hands-on workshop. Class Description Kintsugi is the Japanese tradition of pottery repair. In this art, broken pieces are reassembled, and cracks are highlighted rather than hidden. When joined with the traditional urushi lacquer, repairs can take weeks or even months as each curing step can require 2-7 days in the muro (a humid curing box). In this class, we will use a quick-cure epoxy, allowing you to go home at the end of the day with a final piece. This is a nice way to get started since urushi lacquer is so time-intensive - and slightly hazardous! The materials fee for this class is $20.&nbsp;This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts Venmo, Cash or Checks. Learning Objectives<ul><li>Learn about traditional Kintsugi and how urushi lacquer and the muro curing boxes were used.</li><li>Repair a piece of broken pottery using Epoxy and liquid gold leaf.</li></ul>Instructor -&nbsp;Quantum Wei&nbsp;@kintsugi.boston Quantum first started practicing Kintsugi in 2021 when he wanted to fix a broken souvenir plate (two pieces, epoxy + liquid gold leaf). Since then, he has ventured deeper into the art by working on more complex breaks and utilizing traditional materials (urushi lacquer), and constructing a muro (wooden curing box). During his latest trip to Japan, he took a workshop with kintsugi master&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kintugi.com/">David Pike</a>.
