Gold & Behold

• Things to do

Modern kintsugi

Find beauty in imperfection at Gold & Behold, a new studio in Hillview Terrace that offers modern kintsugi workshops. Kintsugi, a Japanese art, is all about embracing the cracks – typically, artists put broken pottery pieces together to highlight, rather than hide, the seams with lacquer and powdered gold.

At Gold & Behold, you'll be led through a modern interpretation of kintsugi. You can bring your own ceramic wares or choose from a selection at the studio – and here's the fun part – you get to smash it apart. Later, you'll learn how to piece everything back together using epoxy resin and gold, rose gold or copper powder. It's a slow-going and therapeutic process that produces absolutely stunning pieces of perfectly imperfect works.

Price: $138
