After two SOLD OUT workshops in Wellington here is the next one. There are 4 spots left for the Kintsugi Workshops in Wellington – Don’t miss out!

Learn the magical art of Kintsugi with Artist Ema Frost in this new Workshop. You can bring along a piece of your own pottery to restore in this beautiful style. (I'll also have a few as back up if you don't have your own piece) (All Levels)

I'm sure there's a few of you out there that have been saving a broken piece not knowing quite what to do with it, and if not I have plenty of back. So just bring yourselves and have some fun. Perfect mother and daughter activity or bring a friend and create something magical.
