The Art of Kintsugi

Some four or five centuries ago in Japan, a lavish technique emerged for repairing broken ceramics. Artisans began using lacquer and gold pigment to put shattered vessels back together. This tradition is known as kintsugi, meaning “golden seams” (or kintsukuroi, “golden repair”). This bowl is our version of that technique. We took a bowl that had cracks, voids and nicks and made it into an art piece. Make no mistake the original bowl was a blunder. We used TotalBoat 2:1 and added it to three different cups. Then each cup received a different blue pigment. These cups sat waiting till the resin hit 135 degree then we pour the resin. At this point everything went horrible wrong. The resin cracked and many voids formed. We thought it was a lost cause, then we learned of Kintsugi. We decided to give it a go. We feel this technique added so much to the bowl.
