Inspired by Aurelia Bizourd’s “Kintsugi” paintings in our current exhibit, visitors will create their own “broken glass” images using paper, watercolour paints and gold marker. This activity is appropriate for all ages.
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
