Chisels & bitsProbably the only workshop where you’re allowed to break things, Gold & Behold’s modern Kintsugi workshop starts quite literally with a bang; cloth-wrapped porcelain bowl in one hand, and hammer in the other. Depending on the art style you’re gunning for, you can position your point of impact according to how you envision the Kintsugi strokes to go, but the interesting part comes in knowing that you cannot, and never will have complete control over how your pieces break.
My bowl broke into a neat three segments, so I’m taking the straightforward route today, but my crafting partner’s shattered bowl base needs a little touching up. Even sticking mismatched pieces to fill gaps and holes is also embraced. Don’t let anyone tell you how to patch up the very thing you broke yourself.
