THE ART OF KINTSUGIKintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form which uses a lacquer dusted with powdered gold to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item, leaving a gold seam where the cracks were. Kintsugi literally translates to golden repair (kin - golden and tsugi – repair). Each piece is unique and the cracks become part of the design, creating a unique piece of art. The mended cracks are symbolic of an event in the life of that object which, rather than cause its destruction, has contributed to its unique beauty. Bring along your own broken item to restore (something simple is advised) or choose from pieces the tutor will have available. Repair a special piece that has been sitting in your cupboard or elevate something from the op shop to make your own original piece of art, which could make a great Christmas present! Our tutor has been a Kintsugi artist for eight years and has held several workshops in both Auckland and Whangarei. All materials provided.

MAKE a POSTCARD: A LETTER TO LOVE
Learn some simple creative processes to make a postcard for someone you are missing. This half-day workshop will be about the process of accessing and releasing feelings such as love, loss, absence, anguish, anticipation of reuniting, enjoyment of new places, or other themes which otherwise might not be given a voice. Your postcard maybe addressed to someone in the present or the past, alive, or departed, but there is no expectation that the postcard will be sent (that is up to you). The gift is first to you: an opportunity for you to learn some creative skills (no artistic ability required) and dedicate some time to make a heartfelt connection with a loved one. Past participants report feeling more settled or calm about the person/ situation who they have made the message for. Discover a range of techniques which are quick to learn and can be replicated at home, developing a self-support skill for wellbeing. All materials provided, no experience needed.
