About the event
JSB members are invited to join us at Boston Children's Museum for a fun workshop about the art of kintsugi, a traditional Japanese method of repairing ceramics by highlighting the lines of breakage with precious metals.
Tatsuya Murao, kintsugi artist, will give a brief presentation explaining the background of kintsugi. Then we will be able to apply those concepts by creating our own small accessories joining recycled materials into a one-of-a-kind piece of art. We will be using ceramic paints and glue instead of real lacquer in this workshop as there will not be enough time for curing
.
Afterwards, join us on a tour of the traditional Japanese merchant townhouse at Boston Children's Museum, Kyo no Machiya, and the window display of real kintsugi works.
Spaces are limited. If you are not a JSB member, you can sign up to become one here.
