Learn the meditative art of Kintsugi or Raku pottery firing
Try out something a little more unique with these Japanese pottery experiences in Melbourne. These cultural activities are a great way to learn some new skills as well as learn the deeper meaning and history of these traditional practices.
Often known as Japanese gold repair, Kintsugi is an ancient art whereby you join pieces of broken ceramics together using gold lacquer. Philosophically, Kintsugi is all about embracing your imperfections, as it highlights the broken history of an object, rather than trying to disguise it. It’s also super sustainable, as you’ll learn how to repair and improve items you already have, rather than go out and buy more.
Looking for something that’s even more unique? Discover all there is to know about Raku pottery and learn how to fire your pottery pieces, perfect for a Japanese-inspired tea ceremony! Unwind outside at this fun and casual class and return home feeling completely rejuvenated and relaxed, with your newfound knowledge and rare ceramics.
