◼️Recent Repair Projects✨

Thank you, as always, for the many repair inquiries and messages.😊🙏

Lately, I’ve also had more people consult with me during workshops and then move forward with a repair request on the spot.

I often get questions like:
✅ “Do you think this material can be repaired?”
✅ “It’s quite large—would you be able to come to my home?”
✅ “It was repaired a long time ago… is it possible to do Kintsugi from here?”

Many of the items I receive carry deep family memories, or are on the verge of being discarded. I feel that more and more people are choosing to transform them into one-of-a-kind Kintsugi art instead.

⸻

① Large Platter by an Artist
This was from a returning client.
Because of concerns about damage during shipping, I personally delivered it.
Seeing the joy on everyone’s faces at the studio when they received it was such a relief.

⸻

② Marble Countertop
Marble is actually a relatively soft stone.
While it’s visually beautiful, it’s also prone to chipping and cracking.
In this case, I repaired chips on a kitchen counter and bathroom surface over the course of two days.

⸻

③ Paper-Clay-Like Material
This was a consultation from someone who attended a workshop.
It was a very large plate-like object—almost like a sculptural interior piece.
The client, who works as an interior buyer, wanted to breathe new life into it, so I worked on it over two days.
A dedicated display space had already been prepared, and I’m excited to see it installed.

⸻

④ Pickup in Santa Barbara
This piece—a Chinese jar—was originally brought to a workshop in Santa Barbara last fall.
It had been repaired long ago with adhesive, and the client agreed to restore it without removing the previous repair.
There were gaps and uneven surfaces, but I carefully worked with urushi lacquer to soften and harmonize those differences.

I’m so glad I was able to deliver it, even just in time.

Back in beautiful Santa Barbara! 🌊✨
We recently returned to

in downtown SB for our 3rd Kintsugi workshop, and my heart is so full. It’s becoming one of our favorite traditions—seeing familiar faces, returning beautifully repaired pieces to their owners, and meeting a whole new group of creative souls.
Every time we visit, we’re reminded of why this city is so special. From the charming streets and curated boutiques to the lively weekend flea markets, the inspiration (and the shopping! 🛍️😂) is endless.🌴

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at for being such gracious hosts, and to everyone who joined us and made the session sold out!

We're already dreaming up ideas for a new class format for our next visit. Stay tuned, Santa Barbara! 🩵

【Embrace the Imperfect: Yobitsugi Workshop in Fullerton! ✨】
Ever had a favorite piece of ceramic chip or break? Instead of hiding the damage, why not celebrate it?
We’re so excited to invite you to our upcoming Yobitsugi Workshop at the beautiful Kitsch Studios!

What is Yobitsugi? It’s a creative Kintsugi technique where we "summon" fragments from other broken pieces to fill the missing gaps.
It’s more than just a repair—it’s about creating a bold, one-of-a-kind mosaic that tells a new story.

At Kintsugi LA, we believe this process is a beautiful metaphor for life: slowing down, accepting the "damage," and mending ourselves with patience and intention. It’s pure mindfulness in motion. 🌿

No experience? No problem! We provide everything you need. Just bring your creativity and let’s explore this new adventure together in the heart of Fullerton.

📅 Event Details
• Date: Sunday, May 24, 2026
• Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
• Location: Kitsch Studios
111 East Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832

Perfectly Imperfect. ✨
In the rush of our Santa Monica lives, we often forget that there is power in slowing down.

When a favorite piece of ceramic breaks, your first instinct might be to let it go. But what if that break was actually a beginning?

Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and 24K gold.
It’s a philosophy that views breakage and repair as part of the history of an object—something to be celebrated, not hidden.

Join us for a meditative morning where you’ll learn the art of resilience. Transform your "scars" into a unique story of strength and beauty. 🏺💛
