I have one particular item that I had glued with epoxy but it is not very perfect but knowing that Japanese see imperfection as beauty, I have been seeking saving this precious pottery bowl (made by my daughter). I thought I'd have to remove epoxy I had used (as I had a piece at top of bowl that was not smoothly set). But now I see that I must use technique using glue & glob of non-gold metal over uneven patch & also follow other patched-broken lines to give the whole bowl the Kintsugi effect. I love this process & thank you for showing how it is done!

Great to see PC-Clear epoxy used to bond the pottery and also PC-11 epoxy as a filler for high quality repair on such beautiful artwork!

But isn't it suppose to be done with natural lacquer and not Epoxy?

Fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!

Terrific video. I have wanted to know how to repair with gold a long time but just learned the name "kintsugi" in the last month and so had no idea whatsoever how to do it. Too bad I didn't learn this twenty years ago when I made a wonderful Raku bowl for a friend. The bowl was badly cracked and quite fragile. He is a life-long instinctive and educated maven of Wabi-sabi, so I gave it to him anyway. I would rather have used kintsugi first. Now I have a new piece of stoneware on which I will try THIS technique after it's fired. Also have a Spode beer pint my mother gave me forty years ago, which I kept after accidentally breaking it. When I get the knack, I will repair it, too. I have watched perhaps twenty videos on kintsugi, and this one is the most helpful so far because modern, easier materials are used while there is recognition of classical methods reflected in the presentation. I have tried now for about a month to get some insight into how to use epoxy or some other modern glue to yield the look of authentic, classical kintsugi. I think this is the video that finally does it for me. Thank you so very much.

❝to repiar with gold❞ the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken

This poem expresses the importance of the concept of kintsugi in my life, written well before I had ever heard of kintsugi or kinsukuroi MOSAIC Mosaic: a word that means from the muses, from Moses and a work of art created from broken fragments of pottery, stone or glass. Even the first time, surrender was not hard, though the grownups and mothers with their drinks and swizzle sticks undoubtedly thought it so when you volunteered your only present that 10th Christmas to a younger child who wouldn’t understand being giftless at the tail end of a line to Santa, nor your inherent sin in being born. Such generosity should have stayed between your concept-of-God and you, but grownup admiration (you could not hope to make your act unpublic) sullied the soap of any generosity’s power to cleanse you. Other atonements followed, only one almost perfect, being perfectly anonymous spoiled by an accomplice’s later telling. Perfection? You never made that grade, your terrible love for God demanding all life from your life. No one told you, “Live a lot,” not in words that made it matter, though they doubtless counseled, “Live a little.” You were always in school to be perfect, never knowing that life is a classroom where one learns to love flaws by throwing bad pots, to shatter them with careful hammer, assembling beauty from broken things.

Beautiful

Hello, after watching the video, I am delighted with your work, tableware acquires a new look for home decoration, but it happens that ceramics want to be restored so that cracks are not visible. It is especially difficult to restore glazed colored glaze, for example, based on iron oxide.

Thank you for the video, it’s very useful. What I want to repair is glass, what would you use as filling material?

I love this and it actually almost makes me tear up, I have been interested in this for years and am just now wanting to make art pieces as a ways for me to heal and repair a lot of abuse in my life! Thank you for sharing ❤️

What reddish lacquer do you use before applying the gold?

wonderfull video tutorial, thank you for sharing. Question: when working with your compound, the lines seem to be much thicker - as in not in line with the surface. with gold after buffing it is practically indistinguishable. i prefer the look of lines that are flush with the surface - can that be achieved with your compound?

Hi Diana, Yes it can be achieved at higher cost (more labor) although most people choose the shown method.

What type of lacquer is it that you use? (what the gold is bonded to)

Puedes poner el nombre de pegamentos y pinturas? Quedó bellisimo, gracias

I'm curious about the faux gold technique, it seems to leave a raised, rounded area when finished, as opposed to the levelness of the genuine gold method. Visibly, this makes it look distinctly different. Is there a way to make it look more level? Also, is the PC-11 application necessary prior to doing the faux-gold technique?

@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Debs, we do both styles, flat and a a bit raised. Most people purchase the raised style perhaps it provides better light reflection showing the beauty of the gold or gold effect. PC-11 is required to make sure the Kintsugi process has flat and smooth foundation to insure continuous and uniform gold surface appearance.

How long after you dust do you take off the extra gold? Also, how long do YOU let the lacquer cure for before dusting?

When using this to repair everyday dishes, are the dishes usable after repair?

Thanks for showing us this process. I always wondered how Kintsugi was done. But is this the traditional Japanese method, using epoxy? I always imagined molted gold was used, or perhaps a thin flat gold wire was melted in place.

The composites originally used for Kintsugi to mend the broken parts and bonding the gold powder are made out of Urushi lacquer wich is the sap of a tree that grows in East Asia. This sap has high toxicity if touched before hardening creating the same reaction as poison Ivy and dangerous to breath. The epoxy and the gold powder bonding materials used similarly to the traditional method. However, they are easier to source, safer, create stronger bond with better longevity performance.
