\"Breaking<\/p>\n

Breaking bowls in perfect shape offers a cathartic release<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Kintsugi is a way of teaching how life is\u2019<\/span>The room was filled with anticipation as attendees geared up to smash perfect looking ceramic bowls into pieces. The workshop had a two-pronged approach \u2013 the breaking of ceramic bowls offering a cathartic release, and the delicate piecing together allowing reflection. Turning broken pieces into works of art, the hands-on workshop encouraged introspection and healing. Careful mending and painting of the bowls using lacquer with gold urged the group to focus as they let creativity flow.<\/p>\n

\"Piecing<\/p>\n

Piecing the work together delicately allows deep reflection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For a Gurgaon-based Agarwal family, who attended the workshop together, it was all about reflection. Rashmi Agarwal, mother of two daughters, noted, \u201cOnce precious things are broken, it\u2019s very difficult to mend them. It\u2019s a way of teaching how life is. If you fall somewhere in life, you should not be disheartened. A broken or fallen piece can become something better and beautiful. Just like this ceramic, it\u2019s been broken, mended and now it\u2019s stronger. Life teaches you that despite loss and failure, you can be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Learning to embrace imperfections\u2019<\/span>Apart from enjoying the bonding experience, Rashmi\u2019s daughter, Tarushi Agarwal made her bowl with intention and noted the impact of the process. \u201cFrom my perspective, in a world where there is so much airbrushing on pictures, and makeup to hide the imperfections on your face, we see in kintsugi that even when we use gold, it\u2019s not to hide but embrace and beautify the imperfections. That\u2019s how gold is being used, it\u2019s making the object pretty despite there being cracks.\u201d<\/div>\n
