Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners (Manchester)

Join us for a kintsugi pottery class in Manchester and craft your own beautiful ceramic piece to take home. In this class, you’ll discover the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, a technique that repairs broken pottery with gold, celebrating each imperfection as part of the piece’s unique story.

Guided by an experienced tutor, you’ll explore the history and philosophy behind kintsugi, gaining a deeper understanding of this meaningful art form. This hands-on workshop gives you the chance to carefully break pottery and learn how to mend it with respect and precision. Under the watchful guidance of your teacher, you’ll use a hammer and drill to handle each piece gently, preserving its character.

The magic of kintsugi is in the golden details, which you’ll create using a special micro-metal mix and epoxy resin. This golden solution brings your pottery back together, producing a piece of art that is both striking and perfectly imperfect.

By the end of this Manchester class, you’ll have developed new skills in kintsugi pottery and completed your own unique creation. Many find the process therapeutic, leaving with a sense of calm and accomplishment. Your finished piece will serve as a beautiful reminder of your journey into this ancient art.

Please note: your kintsugi piece is only for display and should not be used for food, microwaves, ovens, or dishwashers. Enjoy it as a unique showcase of artistry.
