Healing Arts Workshop – Embracing Imperfections: The Japanese Art of Kintsugi – with Kara Williamson

September 28 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm

$50

Have you ever experienced feeling broken and unsure how to move forward? Life’s challenges can leave us feeling shattered, but they also offer a chance to build strength, wisdom, and resilience giving us the opportunity to generate a rich life story.

Explore the transformative power of adversity through the Japanese art of Kintsugi. This beautiful technique repairs broken pottery with gold, turning flaws into celebrated features. The result is a piece that’s stronger, more beautiful, and more valuable than before—just like us.

What to Expect:

· Create Your Own Personal Piece: Repair and transform broken pottery into a unique work of art symbolizing your strength and resilience.

· Bring Your Own Piece or Use Ours: You can bring your own broken pottery or choose from our selection on-site.

· Share and Reflect: Engage in meaningful discussions about personal experiences, insights, and triumphs as we work through the creative process together.

Join us and embrace your imperfections as we celebrate the beauty and strength that come from overcoming challenges.  Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and start your journey of healing through artistic expression!

This special workshop will be held on Saturday, September 28, 10:30 am – 1:30pm at Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center. This workshop is open to adults of all ages.

Kaylin Warden

External Affairs Coordinator

Kaylin Warden joined the Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center staff in 2024 as External Affairs Coordinator. In this post, she organizes special off-site events and manages the organization’s external communications. She also works with the development department by updating the MACC’s customer relations database, and she assists the executive director in setting up exhibitions. Above all else, Kaylin is passionate about the arts. It comes as no surprise, then, that she is now pursuing a master’s degree in art history. When she’s not at the MACC, you can find her reading her favorite books (especially ones dealing with maritime mysteries), cooking, gardening, playing with her cat and two dogs, and cheering for the Nashville Predators.
