Modern Kintsugi NY
The art of Kintsugi embodies new beauty made through imperfections. It’s an artistry of mending broken pieces, symbolically representing how brokenness in our lives can transform to places of beauty and power. Instead of hiding chipped and broken parts,when imperfections are pronounced with the gold, symbolizing the light, you behold something that’s more beautiful. It’s an art form of mending to make new. In this Gather, we’ll have an open time to share personal discovery with each other as we apply Kintsugi to a piece we’ve each brought with us. We’ll share a time of personal reflection and beholding through working with our hands.
Please do not break things to bring. Instead, look for cracked, chipped, and broken ceramics you already have. No glass, please.

Sarah Winston Tintle is a modern Kintsugi facilitator. In this role, Sarah focuses on creating beauty from brokenness, in an effort to make the world a more peaceful place, one creation at a time. She holds a B.S. from Vanderbilt University and a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Duke University. Sarah has worked as a pediatric physical therapist for the past 18 years, and this work has framed how she views her role as an artist. Sarah’s desire is for all people (children and adults!) to be able to live their lives to their fullest potential. She sees play as an essential component to learning, not only with pediatric clients, but with adult learners as well. She uses this lens to invite class participants to engage in a playful way, in order to more deeply understand how beauty is made. She is also the author of a children’s book, Golden Scars (coming to print summer 2025!), which introduces children and their parents to the healing power of Kintsugi. Sarah is a committed advocate for a variety of local and international organizations with a focus on supporting women and children. And she is a mom, and enjoys spending time with her three amazing and crazy children and her dog, Caesar!
