What will you do
The participants will learn how to repair simple cracking and broken ceramics, glasses, porcelain, tiles or mirrors with basic kintsugi technique. Since urushi, the traditonal Japanese lacquer used in kintsugi is very difficult to handle until it dries and it takes long time to dry, Mariko will teach the participants to use ‘shin-urushi’ (new- urushi) as a substitute for urushi. It is synthetic resin based on cashew nut shell oil and so much easier to start with.
