Description
Discover the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi with this DIY kit, a beautiful way to mend broken ceramics while embracing the philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. Originating in the late 15th century, Kintsugi was born when a Japanese emperor, dissatisfied with the crude metal staples used to repair his pottery, commissioned his craftsmen to develop a more elegant solution. The result was Kintsugi—”gold repair”—a technique that highlights cracks with shimmering gold seams, transforming flaws into unique features. So cherished was this art that collectors even broke valuable pottery just to restore it with Kintsugi’s radiant touch. Now, you too can bring new life to cherished pieces and celebrate their history with this timeless practice.
Available in silver as well.
