Kintsugi (or Mending Gone Amazing).

Tara found this wonderful introductory video on the Japanese art of Kintsugi while thinking about Jen's show, For Keeps: a mending show.

Does anyone in Toronto practice anything like this? Submissions for For Keeps are still open for a few weeks. How amazed would we be if a local Kintsugi practitioner came out of the woodwork (claywork?)? The answer: quite.

    I've watched this video 5 times now...it's great! There is something so evocative about the repaired pottery in the video, especially the last two pieces shown towards the end...

    Kintsugi practitioners, please come forward! :)
