Technique: Repairing chipping (ware)

Kintsugi (golden joinery) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold or silver. This ancient art form based on the of Wabi-Sabi philosophy of embracing the flawed or imperfect. Highlighting the cracks and repairs as simply an event in the life of an object rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage.

This September, JTA welcome back Ai Shimizu, a Kyoto-based Kintsugi practitioner who is already a part of the JTA family. She has painstakingly developed the Kintsugi SEED kit which has now been enjoyed by our customers. Ai-san has exhibited her work in Japan and internationally, as well as teaching throughout Japan and France.

In this session you will learn how to repair a small chip from the rim or edge of a vessel. The missing area is rebuilt with a kintsugi filling material, then finished with lacquer and metallic powder to restore the form while celebrating the repaired area.

Workshops will be held at the JTA Showroom with all materials included.
