JOSEPH JOHNSON/HOMED We carefully dusted our items with brass dust after applying lacquer paint to the join area. So when a spot in a kintsugi workshop was offered, I knew I had the perfect project. Kintsugi is the rare and dying art of mending something broken, using a precious metal to highlight the repair. We students were set loose with glue, putty, spatulas and various diamond files to patch up our pieces as best we could. The kintsugi workshop was part of the Necessary Traditions Festival 2018 run by Rekindle at the Arts Centre te Matatiki Toi Ora.
