Touci Ceramic Studio is excited to host @ThreeLittleSpruce at our new location on Nov 23nd 1:00p-3:00pm for a more traditional workshop using techniques and materials straight from Japan. This workshop is tailored towards those who want to practice a more authentic method of Kintsugi repair that emphasizes finding beauty in the everyday use of precious items. “伊万里　江戸後期　IMARI 1840-1860 Diameter: φ5x 2.5 inch The antique ceramic is in the picture. Each piece's picture and cracked/chipped area will be differ from the picture. The participants will be taking it home after repairs are done. *Repair experience is not required. Everyone is welcome. In this standalone class, participants will learn the traditional Japanese art of restoring broken pottery, known as Kintsugi, by repairing cracked ceramics. The intricate process of Kintsugi will be taught through hands-on instruction in a classroom setting. Each participant will have the opportunity to work on ceramic fragments (practice pieces) at different stages of Kintsugi during the session. Additionally, they will work on the final step using Japanese antique ceramics. All participants will be able to take home the antique piece they work on. Important: Please be aware that we will use Urushi lacquer, essential to Kintsugi, can cause severe skin irritation. Always wear provided gloves and apply Vaseline to exposed skin. Avoid contact with non-intended surfaces. Please do not take this workshop if you’ve exposed to poison Ivy previously All tools, materials, and chipped ceramics to work on will be provided in the class (actual items will differ from the image). Should you choose to enhance your experience by purchasing our kit, it is available for purchase at the class.” -Three Little Spruce https://www.threelittlespruce.com/workshop Cancellation and Refund Policy A cancellation request must be made a week prior the first day of class by email.
