Kintsugi workshop in Lisbon with Miyuki Hioki, a Kintsugi artist who grew up in Japan and spent years mastering the intricate art of authentic Urushi lacquer before bringing the practice to Lisbon, a three-hour hands-on and mindful session at 80 euros where you learn the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with golden lacquer and leave with your own beautifully restored piece. No prior experience needed. Welcome to complete beginners, craft lovers, expats and travellers.<\/p>\n
Guided by the philosophy of Wabi-sabi, sustainability and slow living, the session covers the history, materials and philosophy behind traditional Kintsugi and Urushi lacquer before moving into the hands-on techniques of mending, polishing and illuminating ceramic fractures with gold powder step by step, with Miyuki\u2019s guidance throughout. More than a craft session, this is a quiet, rewarding and genuinely mindful creative experience built around the idea that what is broken can become more beautiful for having been repaired.<\/p>\n
