LA Design Festival Workshop: Kinto Workshops
This workshop is hosted at Kinto on Saturday, June 28, at The Row in Downtown LA. For the workshop in Long Beach, click here.
As part of the LA Design Festival, we are teaching a beginner-friendly Kintsugi Workshop where you will learn to repair breaks using the traditional Japanese method.
This 2-hour session will give you the cultural and historical background of Kintsugi as an art form, and guide you through the first major step of repair.
After the class, your piece will cure and can either be sent to your home address for you to continue working on with a Kintsugi Kit, or you can join our ongoing Long Beach workshops to continue the piece, and even bring in your own pieces to repair. Our Kintsugi Instructor will help you give your broken wares a second life.

While urushi can cause skin irritation in its raw, wet state, once it has completely cured and hardened, it is absolutely food safe. Urushi is one of the most durable natural materials and thus extremely well-suited for environmentally-responsible, long-lasting repair of ceramics, porcelain, and other wares.
I will be aware of my surroundings. If I accidentally come in contact with urushi, I will massage the affected area well with any plant-based oil straight away to remove urushi from my skin. I understand that POJ Studio is not liable for any adverse reactions caused by urushi.
