The workshop in detail

  • 2h30
  • 10 to 20 participants
  • 15 years min.
  • WORKSHOP FOR GROUPS: Join this workshop together with your colleagues, friends or family for a unique experience!

    Chloé and Sebastiaan, two passionate ceramicists, invite you to a shared experience in the world of Kintsugi, where each participant restores a broken bowl into a true work of art.

    This technique, also known as Kintsukuroi, goes beyond simply repairing broken objects. It is a celebration of beauty in imperfection and a rejection of throwaway culture.

    This workshop celebrates reinvention and innovation. Rediscover the connection with your company or group as you are guided through the steps to repair your own ceramic bowl. You will discover the ancient secrets of applying golden lacquer, transforming the cracks into true works of art.

    At the end of the workshop, everyone will go home with a beautifully restored ceramic bowl decorated with golden cracks. As a bonus, you will receive your own organic repair kit so you can continue your ceramic adventure at home!

    Wecandoo - Meet Chloé & Sebastiaan

    Meet Chloé & Sebastiaan

    Kintsugi Ceramics

    Chloé and Sebastiaan are adventurous souls! After their wedding, they went on a honeymoon backpack trip, but ended up living and working abroad for almost two years! In 2020, their travelling adventures were suddenly put to a stop. 

    Looking back, they appreciate the forced break, which allowed them to reflect on what they truly wanted to do; it was a journey of self-discovery.

    When a family member visited them in Belgium, he introduced them to the art of kintsugi. They immediately embraced the beauty and philosophy behind this craft. They had always dreamed of starting a business in which the product matched their core values: sustainability and authenticity. Kintsugi brought it all together.

    They decided to use CHIYU as their brand name. Much more than a method of repair, kintsugi is also the art of recognizing that in the process of healing, something beautiful, unique and resilient is created. 

    They want to inspire you to slow down, to reconnect with yourself, to embrace and celebrate imperfections. Acknowledge the person you have become throughout a journey filled with joy and sadness, which is called life, and know that you are better with your golden cracks.
