As part of its exhibition "Fix it! The Happiness of Repairing", the Museum.BL is offering a unique Kintsugi workshop.
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair method in which broken ceramic objects are glued and reassembled using the natural lacquer urushi. The broken areas are not concealed, but deliberately emphasized by the use of gold powder (silver, tin, copper or lacquer).
The workshop gives an insight into the traditional technique and provides instructions on how to repair a broken object yourself using the Kintsugi method.
Prerequisites
- You reserve a place on the course with Pit Schmid, the curator of the exhibition (pit.schmid@bl.ch)
- Your participation will be confirmed by e-mail. A total of 10 workstations are available.
- You give Museum.BL permission to document the course with photos/video.
The offer is free of charge
