Kintsugi Course

Ensjø, Oslo
  • 1 session
  • 2 hours

Kan-i kintsugi is a simpler form of the traditional craft. Over two hours, a small group repair a broken piece each. Most dates are held in our home studio at Ensjø; the venue for each date is shown when you book. We use shin-urushi, a synthetic lacquer from Japan, together with glue and epoxy putty. It looks like real urushi but dries at room temperature, so the work fits in one session. Bring your own object, or use one of ours. If yours is too complex for two hours, you take it as far as time allows. The course is held in Norwegian.

No prior experience is needed. Wear clothes you do not mind getting a little dirty, or bring an apron. Materials and tools are provided, including Japanese coloured powder. We serve Japanese or Korean tea and snacks. You take your repaired piece home at the end of the session, so bring a bag to carry it in. Because the materials are synthetic, repaired pieces are best kept away from food.
