Re-use, Re-Purpose, Beautify with Gold!!

Hello Lovely locals. Come along and learn this wonderful technique.

Ema Frost will be holding a KINTSUGI WORKSHOP on Sat & Sun 5th & 6th Oct here in Wellington again at Toi Poneke and Whirinaki Whare Taonga and she has limited spots available so make sure to book in early.

Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi.... It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold - making its imperfections its beauty. - A truly wonderful philosophy to live by. If you are interested please go to: emafrost.com...

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 Ema has plenty of back ups. So just bring yourselves and have some fun. Bring a friend and make some Kintsugi magic together.
