Kintsugi kit by Tsugu Tsugu for repairing pottery
Kintsugi is a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery or glass with gold or silver lacquer. This technique has gained global attention as a sustainable practice that allows pottery to be used for a longer period of time and a way of accepting imperfections.
For those who are interested in Japanese culture or sustainable practices, Tsugu Tsugu’s Kintsugi starter kit is an excellent option. The kit contains natural and food-safe materials that are traditionally used in Kintsugi, as well as an English instruction manual with clear steps. Step-by-step instruction videos are also available on YouTube. Global shipping is available on the official online shop.
