kintsugi Repair
I offer traditional and non-traditional Kintsugi repairs for ceramic objects of all kinds, whether it’s an heirloom, a favorite dish, or a piece of ceramic art you want to bring back to life. I also create custom jewelry commissions, combining ceramic fragments and precious metals to transform broken pieces into meaningful, wearable work.
Every commission is approached with attention to detail and respect for what the piece represents. If you’re interested in restoring a broken object or creating something new, I’d be happy to discuss your project.

“Jane opened the wrapping last night on our 50th anniversary. She very much appreciated the work, the object of the work, and the sentiment. Thank you.”

Traditional Kintsugi
I offer traditional Kintsugi repairs using natural lacquer and powdered metals. This process follows time-honored methods and results in a food-safe repair once fully cured.
Key considerations:
Hand wash only with mild detergent
Not microwave or dishwasher safe
Should not be exposed to extreme heat (i.e. Oven temps)
Timeline: approximately 3+ months depending on humidity/season
Available finishes: gold, silver, black lacquer, red lacquer
Pricing note: Traditional gold repair is the most premium option. Quotes are calculated based on the length of break lines and surface area of missing sections.
The process is the same for all repairs. Learn more about how it works.

“I broke my favorite mug, a gift with numerous memories. I reached out to Kira whose expert repair using the Japanese mending method, Kintsugi has transformed the object into something new and unique, a celebration of its history. Kira has an attention to detail and craft that are truly impressive and I highly recommend her services.”
Non-Traditional Kintsugi Repair
I also offer non-traditional Kintsugi repairs using modern materials like epoxy and metal leaf. This approach is ideal for decorative objects or pieces that don’t need food safety.
Key considerations:
Not food-safe
For display purposes
Timeline: approximately 1 month (often sooner)
Available finishes: gold, silver (other metal leaf options available on request)
Pricing note: Non-traditional silver repair is the most budget-friendly option. Quotes are calculated based on the length of break lines and surface area of missing sections.
