Online Kintsugi Workshop + Kit Delivered to Your Door
Learn the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi from the comfort of your own home.
Join artist Ema Frost for a live online Kintsugi workshop where you'll learn how to transform broken pottery into something even more beautiful using this ancient Japanese repair technique.
Prior to the workshop, you will receive a complete Kintsugi Kit delivered to your door, including a specially selected ceramic piece, prepared exclusively for your Kintsugi journey. This ensures everyone can successfully complete a beautiful repair during the workshop, regardless of their previous experience.
If you have a broken piece of your own that holds special meaning, you are welcome to have it on hand. Ema can assess its suitability at the beginning of the session and advise whether it will work within the workshop timeframe.
Workshop Details
About Your Tutor
Ema Frost is a highly respected New Zealand artist who has been teaching Kintsugi workshops for over 7 years. She regularly travels to Japan to study traditional techniques and continue her learning of this beautiful art form.
Her illustrations and ceramic works can be found in galleries throughout New Zealand, while her products are stocked in leading design stores and gallery shops. Ema's style is enchanting, feminine, colourful, and inspired by her travels throughout the world.
What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi (金継ぎ), meaning "golden joinery, " is the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Rather than hiding cracks and imperfections, Kintsugi celebrates them, transforming damage into beauty and creating a unique piece with a new story to tell.
More than simply a repair technique, Kintsugi offers a powerful philosophy: that our breaks, imperfections, and challenges can become part of our strength and beauty.
This centuries-old practice teaches us that nothing is ever truly broken. Through care, patience, and creativity, new life and meaning can be brought back to an object, making it even more precious than before.
The techniques taught can also be applied to other materials including glass, wood, greenstone, and shells.
