I was commissioned by a friend to ‘create’ something for his wife using the kintsugi method of mending broken pottery. We first set out to identify an appropriate broken piece of pottery to mend; perhaps a piece of crockery or an item gifted at their wedding? There were no items, either chipped or broken, to be found. And I didn’t think it would be good form to break something in these circumstances. Nic went away in search of something that might be appropriate for me to enhance while I wracked my brain trying to think of an appropriate way to incorporate kintsugi. Nic found a small selection of beautiful pieces that he thought Fiona would like. And together we narrowed it down to a beautiful royal blue porcelain Japanese serving bowl.
