FAQ
Do I need to be a trauma survivor to take a class?
Not at all! The beauty of kintsugi can be appreciated by anyone. My classes are available to any women and girls who are interested.
How do I sign up for a kintsugi class?
Simply contact me and we can work out the details! Options are available whether you're looking to host your own class or if you'd like to receive an invite for my next scheduled class once I get enough interested participants in your area. If you have a group of about 4-8 willing to participate, we can choose a time and place that works (this can make a great ladies night, if you want to host and invite your friends). If you still need a group, start asking friends and neighbors if they want to join, or when I get enough interested participants I will host a class.
Can you come do our church activity (Young Womens, Relief Society, etc)?
Yes! Please reach out and we can coordinate the details. This will need to be scheduled at least 2-3 weeks in advance and an approximate headcount will be needed. For classes taught in Christian settings, I do offer to additionally begin class with teaching how the symbolism of Kintsugi can be related to the healing power of Christ. For girls under 18, I recommend adult advisors be present to assist.
Can I bring my own broken vessel I want to repair?
Yes, I've had participants do this before. I can inspect it to assess whether it's compatible with our methods and your skill level. Remember that kintsugi is an imperfect repair that highlights scars, rather than restoring a piece to its original form; and materials used in our kintsugi methods are not food-safe, so it will become a display item. If you do bring yours, you can still choose to use the provided pottery. Using your own vessel does not affect the price of the class.
Does the two-part class need to be back-to-back?
No, the classes can be more than one night apart, but the plaster needs at least overnight to fully set.
