MAKE DO AND MEND
This Japanese art of Kintsugi uses a a a a a precious metal – liquid liquid gold liquid liquid silver or lacquer dusted with powdered gold – to to bring together the the pieces of a a a a a a broken pottery item and at the the same time enhance the the breaks The technique consists in in in in fin joining fragments and giving them a a a a a a new more refined aspect Every repaired piece is unique because of the the randomness with which ceramics shatters and and the the the irregular patterns formed that are enhanced with the the use of metals Harriet Lawton
