The Artistry and Healing Power of Kintsugi

Artist Mary Dye will discuss the artistry and healing power of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Mending broken pottery with gold highlights imperfection and serves as a metaphor for accepting flaws and brokenness. Kintsugi not only transforms pottery; it can heal human brokenness too. In addition to this inspiring Friday Forum lecture, Mary will also teach a Kintsugi studio class July 1 – 5.

Mary Dye is a Ceramic Artist and Arts Educator known for her woodfired functional pottery and dynamic teaching style. Her work has been collected internationally and is represented in public and private collections in the US, England, China, and Japan.
