by Mio Heki
Special lecture on repairing ceramic cup handles
Kintsugi workshop by Mio Heki, a lacquer craft artist and kintsugi artist based in Kyoto, Japan. Kintsugi is one of the traditional Japanese techniques for repairing pottery, which is glued and repaired using natural resin lacquer and decorated with gold powder maki-e. Broken and disjointed vessels are restored to their original shape using natural glue, and cracks and scratches are beautifully decorated with gold.
Even if a favorite vessel is broken, it can be repaired and reborn by your own hands. Let's mend your treasured vessels using lacquer, the sap of the poison ivy tree, and decorate them with gold, silver, or colored urushi lacquer.
This workshop will start with mending broken ceramic handles by kintsugi. Reinforcing the foundation is important for repairing a thin, delicate, and heavily loaded part like a ceramic handle. In this workshop, practical instruction will focus on the first step of kintsugi, the gluing process, and especially on the approach for reinforcement on ceramics.
