Overview
Join Be-Ras Creatives Art Cafe for a unique workshop where you will discover the art of Yobitsugi—a distinctive approach to Kintsugi.
In this class, you will learn the technique of mending broken vessels using fragments from different objects. You will create a piece with a patchwork-like appearance, showcasing a beautiful combination of colours, textures, and materials.
Yobitsugi is a traditional Japanese mending technique that combines pieces from different broken objects to create a new whole, unlike the traditional Kintsugi, which repairs an item with pieces from its own original fragments. The term translates to "call into" or "invite connection" and is often used when original pieces are missing, resulting in a unique, patchwork-like finish.
Under guidance, you will learn the contemporary method of Yobitsugi using epoxy adhesive and mica powder. This approach is not only less allergenic but also a fast-drying and cost-effective alternative to traditional precious metals and lacquer.
In a world that often leans towards disposability, this workshop offers a journey into sustainability and creativity while acquiring a new skill. Embrace the art of restoring cherished objects with gold joinery and leave with a unique piece of art that embodies resilience and beauty.
