The workshop in detail

15 years min.

2 to 7 participants

Up to 7 people for a privatization

Get ready for two consecutive 2.5-hour sessions filled with creative adventures and discoveries.

Your journey will begin with an escapade to the bustling market of Place du Jeu de Balle. Coralie will accompany you in your quest for the perfect ceramic piece to restore with kintsugi. You'll have the opportunity to search among hidden treasures, uncovering the true gem that you'll bring back to life. Once the market tour is complete, you'll find yourself at the workshop just a few steps away.

Over a drink, you'll prepare to give a second life to your precious find. You can choose a ceramic object from the market, bring your own item, or opt for one of the wonderful pieces from the host's collection for an additional fee.

Kintsugi is not just a repair technique, it's a philosophy. You'll understand that the breaking of a ceramic doesn't mean its end, but rather the beginning of renewal and continuity in its use.

And now, it's time to take action! For each object, the expert will guide you in diagnosing the necessary restoration.

During the first session, you'll piece together the scattered fragments, fill in the chips with putty, and let your piece dry for 12 hours. On the following day, during the second session, you'll have the pleasure of applying vegetable lacquer and metallic powder. You'll then fix the pieces, giving a new soul to your precious ceramic.

After some final touches, you'll leave with your magnificent object in hand! The repair will allow your ceramic to regain its full beauty and functionality.

This workshop will have opened the doors for you to repair and elevate your favourite objects!

Very nice and relaxed two days workshop with Aurelie who has a very interesting artistic parcours and shares her experience with the participants. I liked the small format and it’s really nice to leave with your own piece of Kintsugi.

Un atelier vraiment génial, en petits groupes et dans une ambiance chaleureuse. Il n'y avait pas deux séances complètes, la deuxième étant un peu plus courte, mais dans l'ensemble, c'était un moment très agréable et j'ai pu réparer une céramique qui me venait de ma famille et qui était très chère à mon cœur.

J'ai passé un weekend chaleureux et doux dans l'atelier de Coralie. Prendre le temps de redonner vie à un objet brisé, une belle leçon de vie dans le monde que nous vivons. Merci Coralie, pour tes connaissances et leur partage, pour ta patience et ta bienveillance. Et bonne chance pour tes projets.

Je conserverai durablement le souvenir de cet atelier « Kintsugi ». Cette expérience, qui dépasse la simple restauration d’un objet, incite à une réflexion sur nos modes de consommation et la valeur des objets modestes. Sous la aimable direction de Coralie, qui excelle dans ses fonctions d’hôte et de formatrice, dans une ambiance conviviale de travail et d’apprentissage, les participants ont eu l’occasion d’apprendre les bases d'une technique, de les mettre en pratique et de conserver un objet réparé, embelli par une cicatrice symbolisant le bon moment passé.
