Having a play with a Kintsugi inspired technique on a charity shop plate✨ Kintsugi is a technique/aesthetic I have adored for years but never even thought about having a go at/including the inspiration in my own work.. guess thats why I’m on a Masters right? (In short Kintsugi is the art of repairing pottery with with gold)

It sounds like I’m not the only one who’s found it really hard to get back into the swing of things this January? Perhaps it’s the new decade thats got a lot of makers debating what it is we’re doing and why we’re doing it! After a bad patch of mental health this past 4 months it’s been an incredibly slow start for me, but I promised to be much more forgiving of myself this year and not push my limits. I’ve spent this morning at the beautiful @mrsathas trying to sort my accounts (pushing it this year) for a relaxing (and warm) change of scenery from the studio - back to commissions at the end of the week!
