Review on Revive Your Pottery With The Kintsugi Repair Kit Including Mini Ceramic Bowls | Craftsmanship Meets Artistic Sensibility For Meaningful Repairs by Bruce Cavett

Simple Kinstugi in a complete kit

I've been interested in Kintsugi for a long time, as restoring a broken, beloved piece of pottery or china has always been a need in this house, and having it come out more beautiful obviously makes it even better than it was. This is not the long process kintsugi using lacquer, which needs to be cured. Instead it uses a modern glue, with which you mix the gold coloured powder for the quick, glorious finish; and you don't need to worry about allergies. All the tools needed are included in the kit. They even give you two small pieces to break, on purpose, so that you can practice on them, and get your confidence up. Well, it's worked for me. My only "issue" is that while this will be perfect for most other pieces, now I want to move on to the full treatment kintsugi repair method in order to repair a badly shattered, treasured tea bowl. So, stay here and be happy with the results of this great kit, or use it as a stepping stone to the "real" thing, for which you will already know the basics when you start – the choice will be yours. It can be loads of fun if you give yourself the time to approach this in a state of mindfulness, which I highly recommend.Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.
