\n

Some objects, when they break, seem to have reached the end of their story.
Kintsugi teaches us otherwise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This ancient Japanese art \u2014literally meaning \u201cgolden repair\u201d\u2014 transforms the fracture into the focal point. It does not hide the crack; it highlights it.
\nIn this workshop, you will learn the traditional kintsugi technique using urushi lacquer and precious metals (gold, silver or tin)<\/strong>, working on a real object.
\nThroughout the workshop, you will follow a guided, slow and precise process, understanding both the technique and the philosophy behind it: the beauty of imperfection, repair and time<\/strong>.
\nThe workshop is taught by Elisabet Moreno<\/strong>, a jewelry designer trained in Japan, who will guide you step by step.<\/p>\n

No previous experience is required.<\/p>\n
