Join Singapore's first Modern Yobitsugi workshop and embrace the art of healing and creativity!
An Overview of The Healing Art of Modern Yobitsugi WorkshopYobitsugi is a fascinating technique where "yobi" symbolises the act of calling into and "tsugi" represents the process of connecting. Yobitsugi restores broken ceramics by incorporating foreign fragments from diverse sources.Our Modern Yobitsugi workshop encourages exploration and resourcefulness, allowing the mended creation to take new a shape and form. It allows individuals the freedom to express their creativity and make distinctive decisions in the artistic transformation of the broken items.When something is broken, you don't have to fix it back like it used to be. It can take a new shape, form and personality.The power of decision lies with you in this artistic journey of Modern Yobitsugi.MaterialsAll crafting materials are provided, so just bring yourself and an open mind!⋒ 1x piece of slightly imperfect ware to craft with⋒ Modern Kintsugi tools and materials⋒ Gold powders that are hand mixed by us –– something you will not find anywhere else!Additional Wares*Additionally, you may bring along 1 of your broken ware as long as it is 15cm(W) x 15cm(L) x 5cm(H) or smaller, broken into less than 5 pieces.

Do you break the pieces on purpose? If you do, is it still Kintsugi?We understand that traditional Kintsugi fixes pottery that has broken unintentionally. We believe in crafting an experiential workshop that provides self-discovery and reflection. In this workshop, the process of breaking an object is a symbolic representation of life's adversity, making it an essential part of the workshop. 2.

You will also get exclusive access to an array of gold powders that are hand mixed–– something you will not find anywhere else! Every part of the workshop is designed and executed with great thought and considerations.3. End ProductThese pieces can be used as accessories, trinket dishes, brush/pen holders or decorative art.
