SUMMARY:Smartphone Photography
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the full creative potential of your smartphone camera in this practical and inspiring 2.5-hour Smartphone Photography workshop. Because we carry our phones everywhere\, we use them to capture everyday moments\, travel experiences\, family memories and more.

Firstly\, you’ll explore composition\, lighting\, focus\, and exposure. Then\, discover how small adjustments can dramatically improve your images. Along the way\, you’ll learn simple techniques for capturing stronger portraits\, landscapes\, detail shots\, and everyday scenes using the camera you already own. \nThis photography workshop will introduce helpful smartphone camera features and easy editing tools that can instantly elevate your photography. Rather than focusing on complicated technical language\, Kate\, an experienced photographer and teacher will encourage creativity\, experimentation\, and practical skills that you can use immediately. \nPerfect for beginners\, hobby photographers\, travellers\, content creators\, and anyone who wants to take better photographs with the device they always have on them. \nTHINGS TO BRING: \nYour fully charged smart phone \nPlease note there is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started.

SUMMARY:Kintsugi
DESCRIPTION:Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold. A metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections. \nLet’s pick up the pieces and mend them back together in this modern Kintsugi workshop. The art of Kintsugi not only makes this possible but also\, in turn\, celebrates the mend in the most beautiful and obvious way. \nKintsugi\, which loosely translates to ‘golden joinery\,’ is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken objects whether wood\, metal\, or ceramic. Moreover\, it emphasizes beauty in restoration rather than hiding flaws. The techniques of Kintsugi treats the repair as part of the object’s history\, instead of hiding the repair as if it never happened. The ‘flaw’ reveals the history\, and the resulting piece is considered more beautiful. With guidance from tutor Han Nae Kim\, you’ll learn to beautifully piece your broken ceramic back together. \nUrushi is a traditional resin lacquer\, one of the oldest materials used in East Asia to repair damaged objects. First\, we’ll use traditional lacquer and varnish\, then apply gold or silver leaf or gold dust to repair your broken ceramic object. As a result\, the repair becomes a meaningful part of its history. Different techniques and repair materials are used depending on how many cracks or breaks your piece to repair may have. \n  \nTHINGS TO BRING TO KINTSUGI:\nBring your own damaged objects\, along with a container to safely transport curing items. All other materials will be provided.\nNOTE:  While workshop materials are all natural and food-safe\, traditional Urushi lacquer can cause allergic reactions. We will handle it carefully and provide guidance. \n  \nPlease note there is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started. Our refund policy can be read in full here.
