Free Kintsugi Workshop

Creating Change - Domestic & Family Violence Prevention

Term 3, Tuesdays in August, 1pm to 3pm.

HKCC is proud to launch a new community initiative funded by Ku-ring-gai Council to support the awareness, prevention and healing from domestic and family violence.

Join us for a creative, art-based program focused on building awareness around domestic and family violence while creating a take home piece in the Japanese Artform of Kintsugi. Meaning “golden joinery,” Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Grounded in the wabi-sabi philosophy, it honours breakage as part of an object’s history, celebrating imperfection rather than hiding damage.

Participants will create a take home piece over 4 weeks learning this artform along the way. Additionally, participants will create a figurine which will be displayed alongside the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Community College entry to the upcoming Wildflower Garden Sculpture Trail in September/October later this year. The figurines will represent support for all members of the community affected by Domestic and Family Violence and fully funded by the Ku-ring-gai Council Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Grant.

As part of our grant, there are certain eligibility criteria for the program. Please click JOIN to register your interest and we will contact you regarding the enrolment process.
