Faux Kintsugi Gathering
2026-06-01 18:00 - 20:00 | BC

During the session, you’ll gently repair a pre-broken ceramic piece while exploring the philosophy behind kintsugi: embracing imperfection, resilience, and transformation. This is not just a craft workshop—it’s an invitation to slow down, reflect, and find meaning in the process of repair. No prior experience is needed.
