About the instructor:
Hen Magal, Kintsugi artist - view her website here.
She discovered the field of Kintsugi a few years ago entirely by accident, and from there everything changed for her.
Today Hen is engaged in teaching Kintsugi, various Japanese restoration methods, lacquer works, and other Japanese arts (rankaku, kanshitsu-fun, Fuki Urushi, and more). Hen repairs, restores, teaches, and creates tools per request for private clients as well as designers. For me, the process provides mental peace, flow, and a deep understanding of patience and humility.
