If you've ever wanted to repair a treasured piece rather than tossing it in the trash - but didn't know how - the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi ('gold repair') offers the perfect solution!\n\nA Beginner's Guide to Kintsugi teaches you the traditional Japanese techniques of pottery and glass repair based on the ancient Wabi Sabi idea that imperfections are beautiful, and visible repairs are part of the 'life story' of an object.\n\nAuthor Michihiro Hori provides simple, safe, and inexpensive methods that you can do at home using tools and materials that are readily available online. Hori guides you through the entire process-from assembling and mixing the materials to reconstructing replacements for hopelessly shattered shards.\n\nWith this book, you'll learn how to:\n\n\n\nReinforce cracks, rebuild shattered areas, and apply the time-honoured staple technique\nFix broken handles so they are fully functional again\nSafely work with lacquer and metallic powders to achieve beautiful, visible repairs\nWork with a variety of repair materials from gold leaf to washi paper\nRepair pottery and glass using traditional techniques for stunning results\n\nAs you take the time to prepare your materials and work closely with the pieces, you'll find yourself becoming attuned to the mindful philosophy at the heart of Kintsugi and the Wabi Sabi principle of appreciating old and imperfect objects. Most of all, the meditative process of Kintsugi will help you look at broken objects in a new way.\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003eHori\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003e9784805316740\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003e254mm x 191mm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"1\" center\u003eHardback\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bateman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44067659284717,"sku":"9784805316740","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/2565\/8281\/products\/9784805316740_1.jpg?v=1682076434","url":"https:\/\/marstonmoor.co.nz\/products\/beginners-guide-to-kintsugi-hori","provider":"Marston Moor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
