Something terrible happened to me. You know how it is, early morning, eyes half closed, stumbling into the kitchen… I went to make a coffee, and knocked my favourite mug onto the floor, completely breaking it.

I was upset…  for about a minute or two, but then I remembered about Kintsugi – the Japanese art of repairing broken pots with gold. And then I got really excited! 

As they say, life goes on, and sometime mistakes actually turn out to be the best! Anyway, here’s a quick overview video on what KintSugi is, and below you’ll find a relaxing how-to guide for how to repair your broken pots with the kintsugi method using gold.
