CB Studio: Ceramics / Kintsugi Workshop with Karolina Gacke

Inspired by Yoko Ono’s Mending Pieces and the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi, this workshop invites participants to explore the themes of breaking, repairing and connecting in a playful, creative and meditative way.
Using broken ceramic pieces and simple materials such as tape, string and scissors, participants create their own objects and forms.
The workshop invites participants to reflect on something that is broken – whether it is an object, a relationship, a situation or something more abstract. What does it mean to repair something? And can something new emerge from what is broken?

Everyone is welcome to take part, regardless of artistic experience or previous skills. The focus is on coming together, experimenting, and enjoying the creative and meditative process. The act of repairing becomes a metaphor for preserving, connecting and perhaps also healing.

Karolina Gacke is an artist based in Brixen, South Tyrol. Originally from Poland and raised in Nigeria, she currently spends significant periods of time in Asia, particularly in Bangkok, Thailand. Her diverse cultural background and international experience have had a strong influence on her artistic practice.

Working mainly across painting, drawing, and kintsugi art, Gacke explores themes of identity, human relationships, nature, and cultural exchange, often bringing together personal experience and universal themes.

Gacke has exhibited internationally in Europe and Asia, including at Bangkok Design Week and the Giardini della Biennale in Venice. She has also participated in international art residencies and collaborated on community-based art projects.
She is a member of the Südtiroler Künstlerbund.
