Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken items by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer followed by dusting with powdered gold.
This Kit allows you to repair a chipped or broken plate together with the master classes (see below).
This Kintsugi Kit goes with the 1st and 2nd of a series of classes
For those who prefer to learn completely offline we offer step by step instructions which will be emailed to you separately.
While urushi can cause skin irritation in its raw, wet state, once it has completely cured and hardened, it is absolutely food safe. Urushi is one of the most durable natural materials and thus extremely well-suited for environmentally-responsible, long-lasting repair of ceramics, porcelain, and other wares.
I will be aware of my surroundings. If I accidentally come in contact with urushi, I will massage the affected area well with any plant-based oil straight away to remove urushi from my skin. I understand that Setamono & POJ Studio is not liable for any adverse reactions caused by urushi.
Please note that detailed printable instructions for how to repair a chipped item are included free of charge as well as a link to an online tutorial showing a step by step procedure which can be found here.
For repairs to a broken item please email us once you have purchased you Kintsugi kit and we can share the video tutorial link and password with you directly.
