Kintsugi Oxford offers repair services for your favourite ceramics, and also teaches the techniques in workshops. Kintsugi is a very Japanese concept, in essence that a broken item of pottery or ceramic can be repaired in such a way that the repair will be a visible part of the whole, becoming part of its life story, as if it wears its experience with pride. Many different metals can be used, including gold for especially beloved ceramics. A 3 hour workshop costs around £75 including the materials.
