Authentic Urushi Kintsugi One Time Experience

The instructor is a specialist who formally studied Japanese lacquer art at Tokyo University of Art. In this experience, you’ll have the opportunity to practice Kintsugi (gold repair) on a handmade ochoko (sake cup) crafted at Uzumako Pottery Studio. You can choose your favorite ochoko from a selection of beautiful colors. Using a brush, you’ll apply Japanese lacquer along the cracks, then sprinkle metal powder on top to complete the repair. Tin powder is included; gold powder is available as an optional upgrade for an additional fee. Your finished piece will be placed in a wooden box for you to take home the same day. Please allow it to dry for about one week before using it. All material fees are included—just come empty-handed and leave with a beautifully repaired treasure!
