Originating in the 15th century, Kintsugi revitalizes cracked pottery, turning fractures into intricate golden patterns. Aligned with contemporary design trends, it celebrates imperfection, natural materials, and craftsmanship. Our workshops embody the beauty in imperfections, inspired by Japanese wabi-sabi.
