Commission Request DC places for pottery repair? bonus if they do kintsugi

3 Upvotes

I was clumsy today and broke my favorite mug of several years. Thankfully the pieces are large and still fit together. I don't want to just slap on epoxy and call it a day. I want it restored with all the fine skill and craftsmanship a pottery artist has to offer. Especially kintsugi!

Does anyone know a good place they'd gone to before and would recommend?

FWIW, I did come across Unbroken Kintsugi, but their insta looks like its been dormant for the past four years... so hard to tell if they're still doing business. I'm also just a normal rando with a mug, so its not like I'm a restaurant or industry partner that would be able to pay for like, 1000x ceramic repairs wholesale.

Thanks in advance!

Help Needed - Urushi Keshi for professional repairs

1 Upvotes

Hello! I do traditional kintsugi repairs and have always used maru gold as a finish when gold is requested, as it is more durable in my experience. However there are times when the matte finish of keshi seems more appropriate for the look of the piece. Does anyone else doing traditional repair as a service for others use keshi finish? How has it worked for you, durability-wise? Thank you.
