Modern Kintsugi Experience: Prosecco Special

Description

Discover the beauty of Kintsugi in this engaging, hands-on workshop. Guided by Andri Maimaridou, a professional ceramics conservator who worked with Kirsten Ramsay from The Repair Shop and is a Visiting Lecturer at West Dean College, you will learn to transform a pre-broken ceramic bowl into a one-of-a-kind piece with golden seams, using safe, modern materials that honour the spirit of the tradition. Along the way, you’ll hear about the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which celebrates imperfection and transformation. By the end, you’ll leave with your own completed Kintsugi piece to treasure — a symbol of resilience and creativity. To make the experience even more special, each participant will enjoy a complimentary glass of Prosecco as part of the session.

- A completed Kintsugi creation to take home. - All tools, materials and PPE provided. - A glass of Prosecco to enjoy during the workshop.

Sussex Kintsugi offers mindful, creative workshops inspired by the Japanese art of golden repair. Founded by ceramics conservator Andriani Maimaridou, who trained at West Dean College and has worked alongside Kirsten Ramsay from BBC’s The Repair Shop, the sessions invite participants to transform broken pottery into unique “soul bowls” using modern, safe materials. Based in Sussex, we run welcoming classes in Brighton as well as pop-up workshops across the county, bringing the philosophy of Kintsugi to new communities and venues. Our sessions are suitable for complete beginners, private groups, or special celebrations. Each workshop combines craft, reflection, and storytelling, leaving you with a beautiful piece to treasure and a new way of looking at imperfection.
