The thought of throwing away a cherished dish or mug can be heartbreaking. If you've ever wanted to repair a treasured piece rather than tossing it in the trash - but didn't know how - the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi ('gold repair') offers the perfect solution. This guide teaches you the traditional Japanese techniques of pottery and glass repair based on the ancient Wabi Sabi idea that imperfections are beautiful, and visible repairs are part of the 'life story' of an object.
