Here is a project I am working on. It is an Edo period Shino Oribe suribachi, a mortar. It has been glued back together after a fairly clean break in two. Who ever glued it used a rubberized glue so it is possible to remove the glue, slow but possible.

Ming period plate, kintsugi repair
Here is the plate in mid repair. I have applied basic lacquer a couple of times along with sabi.




Kintsugi, 2 new pieces.
Kintsugi, more disassembling
Here are some more pieces I disassembled and one I couldn’t get apart. One of the pieces is a Ming period celadon, 45cm. diameter plate with an interesting wood repair piece. The piece I couldn’t get apart is the Oribe suribachi. I tried twice applying heat to it for a total of 30 minutes but I guess the walls are so thick that the epoxy doesn’t weaken easily.

Bonjour,
Les 3 jours de workshop sur le kintsugi étaient intenses, magiques et fabuleux!
On a pu découvrir le travail avec la laque (ça ne sent pas bon du tout!), la pose de l’argent (ou l’or), et on a appris la patience, la patience, la patience….(si ça s’apprend….)
C’était tellement bien qu’ on remet ça, en août!
Vous êtes intéressé? Alors toutes les informations sont sur mon site: vmaoo.ch
et pour les inscriptions:
3 heures d’initiation
3 jours de workshop
10 jours de workshop
Merci de partager, de diffuser, d’envoyer!
Bonne journée
Véronique
