All are welcome to attend. At this year’s Summer Festival, park-goers, gallery guests, and workshop attendees can redress place and notions about home through an indigenous lens. And don’t forget to check out the
City of Burnaby’s Symphony in the Park and Opera in the Park ongoing next door at the Deer Lake Park Festival Lawn.

Event Details
In this standalone class, participants will learn the traditional Japanese art of restoring broken pottery, known as Kintsugi, by repairing small chips on ceramics.
The intricate process of Kintsugi will be taught through hands-on instruction in a class setting. Each participant will have the opportunity to work on two chipped dishes in different stages of work during the session, and they will be able to take their restored piece home.
In addition to mastering the art of Kintsugi, participants will also learn how to craft lacquer ware chopsticks, adding another layer of traditional Japanese craftsmanship to their skill set.
Participants are welcome to bring their broken ceramics to the workshop to discuss how to repair them.
Important: Please be aware that we will use Urushi lacquer, essential to Kintsugi, can cause severe skin irritation (in this session,low-sensitivity Urushi lacquer will be provided). Always wear provided gloves and apply Vaseline to exposed skin. Avoid contact with non-intended surfaces. Do not take this class if you have previously been exposed to poison ivy.
All tools, materials, and chipped ceramics to work on will be provided in the class (actual items will differ from the image). Should you choose to enhance your experience by purchasing our kit, it is available for purchase at the class. Students will be able to take home their laquer ware chopsticks and one repaired dish.
