- Kintsugi Pottery and Rediscovering Joy
What is Kintsugi pottery? Come and learn from Alex Welsh as she describes Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Rather than hiding brokenness, Kintsugi enhances each break, making the piece stronger and more beautiful than before. Alex’s talk will be given on March 18 at the Solana Beach Library’s Cove Auditorium, located at 157 Stevens Avenue, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Meet and mingle with light snacks begin at 5:30 PM. The talk starts at 6:00 PM.
If you are a senior and in need of transportation, please call 858-284-6619. Have a question? Email us at info@friendsofsolanabeachlibrary.org
“Learning to repair broken ceramics with Kintsugi is a perfect metaphor for our lives”, explains Ms. Welsh. “We are all broken and flawed in some way, but the practice of Kintsugi teaches us not to hide our scars.
