In today's society, things that are broken are often discarded and thrown away…read more I attended a kintsugi workshop at The Art Center Highland Park. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage. Kintsugi treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object. The broken pieces are mended together then painted with gold, silver or platinum paint. The result is that the broken piece is now transformed and by highlighting the flaws and accepting the imperfections, this is now a completely different and beautiful object. Our workshop was taught by Takahashi, Mami, a skilled teacher from Tokyo (by Ghibli Museum she told us). All materials were provided, even the broken pottery (an advanced student brought their own broken vase). The upstairs studio was open, well-ventilated and set up with all materials laid out in an orderly fashion. I appreciated the knowledge and experience that our teacher had, as a skilled working apprentice under a Grand kintsugi Master. She walked around, demonstrating and providing hands-on instruction. As a philosophy, kintsugi is similar to wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect. Maybe I can incorporate a bit of this practice myself, and accept flaws or imperfections rather than deeming something less than perfect and thus must be discarded. I've taken classes here before and attended gallery showings. This is a close location to downtown HP, has a parking lot and street parking.

The food is almost all Asian inspired and delicious. They specialize in bao buns, which were very good but not the best we had. We only had appetizers and small plates, sharing everything. The best appetizer is not Asian, but is so good they held it over from the restaurant's previous persona. It's a caviar deviled egg. Try it. Everything else was Asian and delicious. I happen to like more spice than most of my companions, but not one complained of too much spice despite the full flavors. We especially loved the lemongrass chicken, and soy marinated steak bao buns, plus the bulgogi fries. They have a rear patio that we didn't get to see but is likely to be nice in the summer.
