Kintsugi Workshop: The Art of Golden Repair
Join us at The National Distillery Company, hosting an exquisite event with Wairarapa-based artist Jane Gibbens for a calming and creative workshop where you'll learn the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi - the practice of mending broken pottery with gold. More than just a repair technique, Kintsugi is a philosophy that celebrates imperfection and the beauty of resilience.
In this hands-on session, you'll be guided through the process of repairing a ceramic piece, embracing its cracks and flaws as part of its unique story. Do you have a cherished item that's been broken? Bring it along-we'd love to help you give it a new life. No prior experience needed, and all materials are provided.
To make the experience even more special, you will start the session with a delicious welcome drink from NDC's iconic art deco bar, plus tasting platter - sip, restore, and unwind.
Class numbers are limited so book soon to secure your place.
