Description
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer that is dusted with powdered gold, silver or platinum. This art embraces resilience and healing to show that even though something may once appear broken, it can become even more beautiful.
Whilst this traditional art and technique has been used to restore pottery, Atelier Kotona takes a modern approach on this art, creating beautiful accessories with the same methods and techniques.
Using sea glass and broken pottery that wash up on the shore, you'll shape these fragments into jewellery of your own making — something to cherish with each and every wear. Every fragment is collected from the beach, so you're writing a new story for something once discarded, and ensuring a sustainable use of materials.
