Category: Projects pure urushi

The wife and I met some incredibly nice people in a café in a small town of the Taubertal. Eventually we were talking about the kintsugi repairs, and as it turns out it was a perfect timing.

The lovely owner of the café forwarded the possibility and a friend of hers had just broken a dear piece. Gifted by his sister about 40 years ago. It is a vacation souvenir from Morocco – what a pleasure to be allowed to fix it 🙂

The parts are connected with epoxy and then multiple layers of urushi are added.

My wonderful dance teacher bought a set of good porcelain with one of her first salaries as a professional dancer.

Over the years she got rid of some of the pieces, but no more!

Fortunately, I started using traditional techinque (using urushi) and I was so happy she let me repair this bowl.

A beautiful tea cup, and apparently my fathers favourite…but that’s all I know about it. Probably my first project using only urushi.

There was a small piece missing, but it eventually turned to a bigger crack and I had to take it fully apart.
