Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form in which gold is used to repair broken ceramics. The practice of Kintsugi highlights the break rather than erasing it and emphasizes that the break is what makes the ceramics more valuable and beautiful. In this beginner’s workshop, participants will learn the basic technique of Kintsugi on a small porcelain plate or a small ceramic plate to understand the fundamentals of this process.

Oracle cards mean different things to different people, but I see them as intuitive, uplifting messages to your future self, or visual ideas/messages/thoughts that you like to have around you. If you would like to create a series of twelve 6”x8” mixed media cards as messages to your future self or as intuitive seeds for future creative endeavors, or something entirely your interpretation of what they mean to you, I will guide you through the process of constructing them in this workshop.
