Kintsugi. Cicatrices doradas

EL ROOM presents the workshop Kintsugi. Cicatrices doradas, led by Magdalena Firlag.

Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramics and porcelain. It consists of joining the pieces using an adhesive made from urushi lacquer, and then embellishing the joints with particles of gold, silver, or other metals. The object not only regains its functionality but also becomes a unique piece.
