the beauty in the imperfection of a broken object
According to wabi-sabi, beauty lies in imperfection and in accepting the natural cycle of life.
That is why simple objects can become even more beautiful when they break: they can tell a new story and take on new value thanks to our hands and new materials.
Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art that invites us to look at broken objects in a new light.
By repairing the cracks with molten gold, the object is enriched with scars, signs of deep strength and of a unique, unexpected beauty.
During this evocative workshop we will join the fragments of a broken object with a mixture of gold powder and tell the story of its transformation on the pages of a small notebook.
La Diletta offers a simple introduction to the Japanese technique of kintsugi.
