Hello Artist and Mindful Meditators. My name is Tina Covelli. I have a background in Interior and Architectural Design. I was an educator for thirty years and now happily retired. I have been practicing mindful meditation for ten years, exploring and studying the Zen Buddhist philosophy of Kintsugi. I am so excited to facilitate a workshop connecting this Japanese 15th century “ golden joinery” to our world of pottery. As Leonard Cohen said: “There’s a crack in everything ,that’s how the light gets in”
