Our San Francisco team learning the art of kintsugi yesterday at Stone Gold Pottery. We learned about wabi-sabi - the practice of luring beauty out of unexpected places - and the meditative joys (& frustrations, not gonna lie) of breaking and repairing pottery to reveal a new and more beautiful piece. Top place goes to Hyunsung John Kim for his beautiful work. W/ Tim Aikin, Ian Tong, MD, Ramprasad Reddy Akavaram, Selene Clay, Ashton Teng, Cindy Lundin Mesaros, Waael Zahriya
