My fist Kintsugi plate 金継ぎの器 made under the guidance of Master Jun Morioka in Sydney
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and gold, creating something even more beautiful from its cracks and fractures.
Both begin with brokenness, hurt, or conflict. Each piece require patience, respect, and careful attention. And both are about honouring the story of what has happened—rather than hiding it—while creating a stronger, more resilient whole.
Just as a repaired plate carries beauty in its golden seams, mediators can help people discover new pathways, restore understanding, and stronger connections in the very places where things once fell apart.
For those registered for the NMC2025 Kintsugi workshop hope you have fun creating your own special memorabilia.
See you next week at
