Kintsugi documentary

Kintsugi is a Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery with lacquer than decorated with metal powder, which can be gold, silver, brass or platinum. The result is a piece that's not only functional again, but more beautiful than before thanks to the golden lines that now trace its cracks. ✨ Recently we have documented the whole process of kintsugi while repairing this wood fired bud vase. 🌱 It had been shattered into multiple pieces during the course of its delivery back to Malaysia, but instead of throwing it away, we decided to give it a new life with kintsugi. 💪 The process was delicate and time-consuming, but the end result was so worth it. The vase now has gorgeous golden seams running throughout its rim, highlighting its imperfections and telling the story of its journey. 🌟 Kintsugi is a powerful reminder that our flaws and scars don't have to be something to hide or be ashamed of. Instead, they can be transformed into something beautiful and unique. So next time you're tempted to throw away a broken item, consider giving kintsugi a chance instead. Who knows, you may end up with something even more precious than before. 💛 #kintsugi #repair #japaneseart #woodfired #budvase #goldenrepairedfuture #beautyinimperfections #upcycle 🌟
