SG60 Kintsugi + Peranakan Workshop

Service Description

At Kintsugi Art Studio, immerse yourself in the delicate craft of Kintsugi, an ancient Japanese art form that celebrates imperfection and resilience. The philosophy behind this art form is to treat breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to discard. Our studio offers workshops inspired by SG60 Celebrations and National Day in Singapore, incorporating elements of special Peranakan Ceramics and Tiles for a unique cultural experience. Through this kintsugi workshop, you'll embark on a transformative journey into the heart of the Japanese art of kintsugi. Led by our instructor, Nilo, a certified kintsugi practitioner with many years of expertise and teaching experience, you'll discover not only the craft of kintsugi but also its profound healing philosophy.
