Join visiting artist Mami Takahashi for an introduction to Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics. More than a repair technique, Kintsugi offers a way of thinking about care, impermanence, and the ongoing relationships we have with the objects and communities around us.

The evening will begin with a conversation inspired by Intersect's Dream Street exhibition, exploring themes of repair, memory, and community care. Participants will then learn a beginner-friendly Kintsugi process and repair a prepared ceramic piece to take home.

No prior experience is necessary. All materials will be provided. This class is suitable for participants ages 16 and up.

Where: Intersect Arts Center, 3636 Texas Ave, St Louis MO 63118

When: Wednesday, June 10, 2026 | 5:30pm - 8:30pm

• 5:30–6:00 PM: Gallery conversation on repair, care, and community

• 6:00–8:30 PM: Hands-on Kintsugi workshop

Class Fee: $20 - proceeds from this class will be used to help prep Intersect’s lower lot on Jefferson to become a splash pad and play area for our community! (Read more about that project here)
