Kintsugi workshop

Discover a relaxed and meaningful kintsugi-inspired workshop in Ericeira with Waterlili. This creative 2-hour experience introduces the spirit of the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold, where cracks and imperfections become part of the beauty of the piece.

Please come with a ceramic piece of your own: either something already broken at home, like that favorite mug you have been meaning to fix one day, or a ceramic object you are okay to break and rebuild during the workshop. It can be a mug, plate, cup, bowl, soap tray, decorative object, or another small ceramic piece.

During the session, you will learn a simple, accessible approach to repairing, highlighting, and transforming broken lines into golden details. The workshop is not about perfection or traditional mastery, but about slowing down, making with care, and giving a new story to an imperfect object.

Begin with a guided explanation and live demonstration by the artist, followed by time to repair, decorate, and personalize your own ceramic piece with personal support throughout the session.

No previous experience is needed, making the workshop suitable for complete beginners, travelers, creatives, and anyone curious to explore kintsugi in a gentle and symbolic way. Repair materials are included, and you will leave with your own golden repaired ceramic piece and a thoughtful creative memory of Ericeira.
