Japan Festival Kintsugi Workshop - 1:30 PM

Join artist Kurt Caddy for a hands-on workshop, learning the "art of transformation." Kintsugi 金継ぎ, meaning 'golden repair,' is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with powdered gold or other metal.

Each participant will be given a tea bowl to repair. Kurt will guide the participants through the process of Kintsugi repair and they will take their repaired bowl home as a valued keepsake.

Purchase of a Kintsugi Workshop ticket includes admission to the rest of the Japan Festival, but you must pick up a festival wristband when you arrive on campus. Show your Kintsugi Workshop ticket at the will call table in the lobby of the Midwest Trust Center to pick up your festival wristband. Allow plenty of time to get your wristband before the workshop begins. The workshop will be in room 212 on the second floor of the Midwest Trust Center.

This Kintsugi Workshop session will run from 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM and is limited to 25 participants.
