A heartful thank you to everyone who joined our “Your First Kintsugi Experience” workshop in New York this past September! It was such a joy sharing the foundation of this traditional craft with you.

By now, the piece you carefully brought home has been cured in the Muro for about two weeks and is ready for the next step.

As a special benefit exclusively for our workshop alumni, we’ve created this private page and video tutorial to guide you through Scene 2: Filling the Gap with Sabi-Urushi.

Please watch the video above carefully and follow along at your own pace. If you run into any questions or need a guidance check, we are always just an email away—don’t hesitate to reach out!

If you have our Your First Kintsugi Essentials kit:

Your kit includes essential kintsugi tools and materials sourced from Japan. The video also uses some items not included in the kit, which are easy to find at art supply stores or online.(turpentine, craft knife, cotton swab, tissue paper, plastic wrap)

We are also preparing our next step tutorial, so keep an eye out for updates if you'd like to continue your Kintsugi journey with us.

Enjoy the tutorial and happy Kintsugi!
