[Clayart] The art of Japanese ceramic repair

[Terry Lazaroff]

Bob;

Go to youtube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqBI7RcsKAc     They have videos on the process.  It is returning as a popular craft.    I have a friend in China who digs up shards and  puts them together to make beautiful pieces.

Subject: [Clayart] The art of Japanese ceramic repair

I received an inquiry from a woman interested in repairing a broken ceramic
Chinese table lamp using the Japanese technique of filling the cracks with
metal. She wrote to me as follows:

I understand that it would probably not be able to be fully restored, but
it is a family heirloom and has a matching lamp and I would like to get it
put back together if at all possible.

I know the Japanese have a process where they repair the broken ceramic and
it becomes an art form of its own. In that process gold is used which I am
not necessarily asking for. It is just the concept that a "repaired" piece
can become a work of art.

I know nothing about this, but the idea intrigues me. Is there anyone on
the list who knows something about this process--and, perhaps, even
possibly help or advise her with this?
