Since beginning my Kintsugi practice in 2022, I’ve worked with local artists and private clients to carefully restore treasured ceramic pieces for exhibitions, private collections and personal use.

Trained in both contemporary decorative Kintsugi using modern materials and the traditional food-safe method with Urushi (Japanese tree sap), I approach each restoration with patience and precision. This meditative, time-intensive process allows me to honour the history of each object — transforming sentimental pieces into renewed works of beauty, resilience, and quiet strength.

  • Modern/decorative kintsugi is ideal for decorative pieces. I use a combination of epoxy and alternative urushi with metal powders for the finish. Overtime metal powders will age and there are steps to prolong the beauty of the repaired piece.

    Traditional kintsugi which incudes the use of natural urushi tree sap, finished with black or red lacquer or real gold/silver powder is 100% food safe. The traditional method is more time intensive, encompassing careful preparation of quality supplies including 23-24kt gold/platinum, silver powders, from Japan.

    Either method will achieve a flush and flawless finish restoring and enhancing the beauty and history of your ceramic wares. The process can take 4-13 weeks depending on the complexity of the piece.

  • ​​​​​​​​​Care instructions for repaired pieces (please ensure that these conditions will suit the functionality of your repaired item before proceeding):​

    ​

    1. Start using the item 1-3 months after it was repaired to allow for sufficient curing time, the longer you wait the stronger the restored piece will become. Store in cool dry place.

    2. Do not place in microwave,  dishwasher, oven or open fire.

    3. Gently hand wash items, avoid scrubbing the repaired cracks.

    4. Be careful not to scratch the repaired parts when using sharp cutlery/stored with other items in the cupboard.

    5. Avoid placing repaired item in a fridge.

    6. Do not soak the repaired item in liquid or water for long periods time.

    7. Store items out of sunlight.

    8. Do not use boiling water on the repaired object, urushi cannot withstand degrees over 95 degrees celcius.

    9. Beware of thermal shock, warm items gently before using with hot water especially in the cooler months.
