Creativ Company Craft Kit Kintsugi, Dish - blue, gold, white

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

It is not recommended to use items repaired with this kit for food or beverages. The adhesives and markers are intended for decorative purposes and may not be food-safe.

This kit is suitable for repairing porcelain, glass, and ceramic items. Ensure the material is clean and dry before beginning the repair process.

Drying times can vary. Refer to the specific instructions provided with the glue in the kit for accurate curing times. Initial bonding may be quick, but full strength can take longer.

It refers to the philosophy behind kintsugi, which views the cracks and repairs as a beautiful and important part of an object's story. Instead of hiding flaws, they are celebrated and highlighted, making the object unique and more cherished.

This kit comes with a gold marker. For different colors, you would need to use alternative kintsugi-style repair materials not included in this specific kit.

The kit is suggested for boys and girls and helps develop fine motor skills and imagination. Adult supervision is recommended, especially when using the porcelain breaker or handling adhesives.

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Check the curing time recommended on the glue packaging and allow adequate time. Ensure you are using the correct adhesive for the material.

Shake the marker well before use. Test on a scrap piece first. Apply thin, even coats and allow each coat to dry slightly before applying the next. Use a fine brush for more intricate control if needed.

Take your time during the initial fitting. Use painter's tape to hold pieces in place temporarily while the glue sets. Practice fitting the pieces together before applying adhesive.

Ensure the ceramic piece is stable. Follow any specific instructions provided with the breaker for safe and effective use. Wear protective eyewear and gloves.
