Artist Comission // Lindsay Nicholson : Byker Kintsugi
Theatre, Writing, Clown

Written and performed by Lindsay Nicholson.
Kintsugi is the Japanese Art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Byker Ward was home to Maling Pottery, once the biggest in the world.
This unique true story takes us from the Neon streets of Tokyo to the microclimate of Byker in one woman's search to make sence of culture shock and trauma. This performance uses storytelling and clown to explore what happens when East meets West and the magic of returning home to your roots and yourself.
