USC Fisher Museum of Art (HAR), Courtyard

<aside>Wabi-Sabi Workshop Series</aside>Make Mend is a series of wabi-sabi workshops presented by the USC Roski School of Art and Design that will explore fixing or improving what is damaged, broken, or torn, with respect towards the handmade and creativity as a wellness practice. Participants are invited to bring items that need repair, embellishment, or altering, and all skill levels are welcome.Kintsugi (also known as Kintsukuroi) is the technique of repairing and embellishing broken pottery with gold or gold dust. The practice of “golden repair” draws attention to damage, turns it into a thing of beauty, and celebrates breakage and repair as part of an object's history. Adapting modern materials such as epoxy glue and gold leaf, the “Kintsugi Hack” workshop will explore Kintsugi and the wabi-sabi idea of embracing imperfections and flaws as a practice of wellness and healing.<a href="https://visionsandvoices.usc.edu/eventdetails/?event_id=37130867818705&s_type=&s_genre=" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click to read more. </a>
