Zurich 2-Day Kintsugi Immersion
POJ Studio is excited to share the art of traditional ceramic repair with our first European pop-up in Zurich, Switzerland. For 4 weeks, POJ Studio will be hosting kintsugi classes at Limited Stock, a centrally located homewares store with a focus on handcrafted goods.
From June 5th to July 3rd we will be offering a range of classes from 1hr introductory sessions to 4-class packages where you can repair a personal piece.
If you want to experience a full kintsugi repair in a short amount of time, this two-day experience will take you start-to-finish from broken to repaired ware with 24k gold on a provided piece.
Normally, weeks of curing time are required between each step in Kintsugi. But this beginner-friendly course is structured so participants can experience all major stages of traditional kintsugi without having to wait between steps. Our team has prepared vessels for each stage in advance so you can go through a full repair in a condensed timespan.
Spread across two Sundays, each of the four sessions will teach you about the art form's history, ecology, and philosophy. This will provide you with a robust understanding of kintsugi's context and approach it with a proper mindset.

While urushi can cause skin irritation in its raw, wet state, once it has completely cured and hardened, it is absolutely food safe. Urushi is one of the most durable natural materials and thus extremely well-suited for environmentally-responsible, long-lasting repair of ceramics, porcelain, and other wares.
I will be aware of my surroundings. If I accidentally come in contact with urushi, I will massage the affected area well with any plant-based oil straight away to remove urushi from my skin. I understand that POJ Studio is not liable for any adverse reactions caused by urushi.
Age requirement
The minimum age limit to participate in the workshop is 13 years of age.
