Monday 23rd June - 10:00am - 12:00pm
Ema Frost is a very clever Kiwi Artist, who has been teaching Kintsugi for 5+ years and regularly travels to Japan to study and learn new techniques. Ema's illustrations and ceramic works sit in many of our country's best galleries, and whose products and merchandise sell in the most stylish design stores and gallery shops. Her style is enchanting - quirky, feminine, and colourful, and clearly influenced by her travels throughout the world, usually off the beaten track.
Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi.... It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold - making its imperfections its beauty. - A truly wonderful philosophy to live by. Nothing is ever really broken but new life and meaning is brought back making your piece a work of art and truly something special. You can also apply this technique on various materials like glass, wood, greenstone, and shells.
Kintsugi
It's called kintsugi (金継ぎ), or kintsukuroi (金繕い), literally golden (“kin”) and repair (“tsugi”). This traditional Japanese art uses a precious metal – liquid gold, liquid silver, or lacquer dusted with powdered gold – to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item and at the same time enhance the breaks.
You will take away your wonderful finished work, plus your new skills which will enable you to further your own Kintsugi in your own time.
What you will take away:
  • A finished artwork piece
  • An understanding of Kintsugi
  • Knowledge and History of this beautiful art form.
