Before and after of an 11" tall glass Tiffany Studios Blue Favrile vase, American, circa 1920s. This iridescent piece arrived shattered into many fragments, and through a Kintsugi repair, it was a privilege to bring it back to life.

This 11" custom Kintsugi urn was created for a daughter wishing to honor her father, who raised her. The repaired gold lines reflect strength and connection, a meaningful piece of memorial art and tribute to their life together.

We wanted to share this press release about the work we've been doing at our studio. Over time, we’ve built up a library of free lessons for the art of ceramics and pottery, ceramic and sculpture repair and restoration, and Kintsugi. We just expanded it a bit more.

I'm pleased to share that one of my Kintsugi vessels appears on the cover of the May 2025 News Bulletin of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). This wheel-thrown piece, repaired with 23k gold, was originally created as a presidential gift to the Prime Minister of Japan (2024). The IAAP chose it for its symbolic connection to themes in Jungian psychology, healing, integration, and the value of imperfection. The bulletin can be viewed here: https://mailchi.mp/iaap/iaap-news-bulletin-no-40-may-2025 See how the vase was done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5xWHPeTnFQ #IAAP #Kintsugi #AnalyticalPsychology #Jung #kintsugiart #lakesidepottery #kintsugigallery #SymbolicArt

Honoring Resilience Through Kintsugi Art – Award for Patrick J. Kennedy I was grateful for the opportunity to create a Kintsugi vase, repaired with 23.5K gold, to be presented to former U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy. The award was part of a global event hosted by the STAR Network Foundation, which honors trauma survivors and advocates for mental health recovery. Patrick Kennedy has made a lasting impact on mental health care through his advocacy. As the lead sponsor of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, he worked to ensure that mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. His dedication continues to inspire and support many on their path to healing. #lakesidepottery #kintsugigallery #KintsugiArt #MentalHealthAdvocacy #STARsDay2025 #PatrickKennedy #HealingThroughArt #KintsugiAward

This project presented a unique challenge: replicating the organic details characteristic of Raku firing. Achieving the nuanced shades, varied sheen, and rich textures in the repaired areas demanded meticulous layering and attention to surface qualities, ensuring a seamless blend with the original artistry.

A Shona stone sculpture had been unfortunately painted over with black spray paint and suffered significant breakage. The owner entrusted us with the task of seamlessly restoring the piece, both structurally and aesthetically, revealing the stone's original color.

A Shona stone sculpture had been unfortunately painted over with black spray paint and suffered significant breakage. The owner entrusted us with the task of seamlessly restoring the piece, both structurally and aesthetically. To begin the restoration, all surfaces had to be sanded and polished to remove the paint and prepare the stone for finishing. Only after achieving a smooth, clean surface could we apply natural beeswax to revive the stone’s original colors and luster. #lakesidepottery #ShonaStone #StoneRestoration #ArtRestoration #SculptureRepair #BeeswaxFinish #StoneSculpture

A seamless restoration of a high-value broken and cracked alabaster clock face. Recreating the aging effect required multiple layers of airbrush painting, combining both opaque and translucent finishes.
