What does a kintsugi set contain?

Humade's kintsugi set is inspired by the ancient Japanese craft of kintsugi. The old and traditional technique is very advanced, but with this set it is possible for everyone to try the technique.

The set contains:

  • Two-component adhesive
  • Wax for filling larger holes
  • Gold or silver powder
  • Bamboo stick and paintbrush
  • Gloves
  • Step-by-step guide with detailed pictures

One set contains 5-10 repairs depending on the size. It can be used on almost all hard materials, e.g. glass, wood, marble, hard plastic and of course ceramic/stoneware/porcelain. We recommend washing repaired products by hand. Make sure to work in a ventilated environment or near an open window, as the glue can have a strong smell. Remember to read the enclosed manual carefully before use.

The wabi-sabi philosophy

The beauty of imperfection

Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramics by joining the shards with gold-infused lacquer. It stems from the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which is about seeing the beauty in imperfection.

When the broken pieces are put back together, they create a whole that is more beautiful than it was before. Beauty is thus found in the flawed rather than focusing on the fact that the ceramic no longer appears in its original condition. Flaws become a strength and part of its history.
