Kobe · Ashiya · 2026
Two venues, one summer — Kobe Sauna & Spa in early August, and 寂永堂 Art Gallery in Ashiya later the same month. Eight small groups, each mending, making, and carrying home a piece of their own.
Two days in the spa’s quiet studio — vessels on the first day, stone accessories on the second.
The first group of the day repairs their own broken vessels in gold.
The afternoon group mends their vessels, the damage made beautiful in gold.
Natural stones joined with gold into a pair of earrings to wear home.
The closing group makes earrings from natural stone and gold.
A weekend at the gallery with memé as guest instructor — vessels on the Saturday, stone accessories on the Sunday.
The opening group mends the bowls and plates they carried from home.
The afternoon group traces each break in gold until the piece is whole again.
Natural stones chosen by hand and joined in gold into something to wear.
The closing group sets stone and gold into a ring or a pendant.
