Kintsugi Yobitsugi Workshop

Yobitsugi is a special technique within the tradition of Kintsugi, where fragments from different ceramics are combined to create something new. In this mobile kintsugi workshop, you will intentionally break a ceramic tile, exchange a piece with someone else, and repair it using the philosophy of Kintsugi. Bring a friend, partner, or someone special and swap a fragment with them to create a meaningful, shared piece of art. Your finished tile will carry a physical connection between the two works. You are also welcome to attend alone—we will have many fragments available for you to choose from and incorporate into your piece.This is a very beginner-friendly class. During the workshop, you will:

• Break a ceramic tile
• Exchange a fragment with another participant (or choose from available fragments)
• Reassemble the tile using the Yobitsugi method
• Leave the cracks visible as part of the design
• Highlight the repaired lines with gold

In this process, we do not completely fill the gaps—the cracks remain raw and expressive, celebrating imperfection and connection. Come join us and experience the unique art of Yobitsugi, and create a one-of-a-kind Kintsugi tile. Beautiful Yobitsugi tile Read more details
