Collection: Kintsugi

In the art of kintsugi (金継ぎ or "golden joinery" in Japanese), broken ceramics aren't discarded, but rather repaired with a combination of lacquer and gold powder, highlighting the cracks and breaks and making the piece both food-safe and a new kind of beautiful.

Similarly, this collection highlights the idea that the difficulties we've faced in life haven't necessarily broken or devalued us, but rather have hopefully strengthened our character, experience, and compassion, and have hopefully made us better people.

Further, with some kinds of modern epoxies, it's possible that the repair becomes even stronger than the original material!
