Introduce your team to the Kintsugi technique and make magnets with Kira

WORKSHOP DESIGNED FOR A TEAM: Participate in this workshop with your colleagues and create unique memories together.

Introduce your team to the ancient art of Kintsugi. With a background in design and a passion for this time-honoured craft, Kira has spent over six years perfecting the technique, making it an ideal activity to bring your group together in a meaningful and creative way.

The workshop begins with a journey through time as Kira shares the rich history and profound philosophy behind Kintsugi. From its origins in Japan to its modern revival as a symbol of resilience and beauty, Kira's storytelling will deepen your team's connection to the craft. This reflective introduction sets the stage for an activity that not only nurtures creativity, but also promotes mindfulness and a focus on the beauty of imperfection.

At the heart of the workshop is the art of repair. Under Kira's expert guidance, your team will learn the ancient process of repairing broken pottery using a precious metal-infused lacquer. Each collaborator will fill cracks and seal seams, witnessing the transformation of fragmented pieces into works of art. 

Each employee will have the opportunity to create a unique piece, using a variety of materials and techniques under Kira's guidance. In the final stage, you will add gold to embellish your masterpiece, creating a keepsake to take home or display in the office.
