A repair kit which allows you to practice the Japanese art of Kintsugi (or Kintsukuroi), which translates to “golden joinery.”
Kintsugi involves repairing broken ceramics using lacquer mixed with precious metals, traditionally gold or silver, to create visible seams that celebrate the object's new imperfection rather than concealing it.
Each repaired piece embraces the philosophy of "wabi-sabi," which appreciates imperfection and impermanence, creating a unique object with more character than it had before.
Available in gold, silver or bronze.
What's in the kit:
Metallic Powder: The kits provides either a gold or silver-coloured powder to mix with glue, which creates a brilliant, metallic finish along the repaired cracks, mimicking the traditional Kintsugi look.
Epoxy Glue: This adhesive serves as the base to which the metallic powder is added. The glue is easy to work with and formulated to hold broken ceramic pieces firmly together.
Brush and Mixing Tools: A brush and mixing tools, which help with precise application of the metallic glue along the broken edges, so you can achieve that thin, clean line characteristic of Kintsugi.
Instructions: The kit includes step-by-step instructions to help guide you through the process, from cleaning and preparing the broken pieces to applying the metallic mixture and allowing it to set.
