Introduce your team to the fascinating Japanese technique of Kintsugi with Annelies

WORKSHOP FOR TEAMS: Join your colleagues and create unforgettable memories together.

Welcome to the creative world of Annelies, where you and your team will be introduced to Kintsugi, a Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramics with gold. It’s a unique way to come together and discover the beauty of imperfection.

Kintsugi, which originated in the 15th century, shows that cracks and breaks don’t need to be hidden but can be highlighted instead. This philosophy aligns well with modern values of sustainability and craftsmanship and is closely linked to the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection.

After a brief introduction, each participant breaks a plate or bowl and then repairs it using gold adhesive. This requires patience and collaboration, creating a creative and relaxed atmosphere. Every participant is asked to bring their own plate or bowl, but Annelies also has a few available for those who forget.

There is also an option to work together on a large artwork, such as repairing a large vase or bowl. This can be a beautiful way to symbolize the unity and resilience of the team. The artwork can then be displayed in the office. Indicate your interest in this option when making your request.

The workshop not only offers a fun and calming experience but also encourages reflection on how we can handle imperfections and challenges in our work and daily lives. You’ll leave with both a restored object and a new perspective on the power of imperfection.

Additional options: If you have additional wishes and are curious about the possibilities, mention this in your request. Annelies will then inform you of the options and adjust the offer accordingly.

Workshop on location: Would you like Annelies to conduct the workshop at your location? If so, see the 'Practical Information' section for the requirements.
