Kintsugi, repairing blistered glaze
This video has no audio. It shows the first application of lacquer to a ceramic bowl that had bad blistering because of placement in a wood fueled kiln. I first used a grinder to knock off the blistered glaze and make the surface somewhat smooth. I will finish the piece with a gold or silver finish using kintsugi techniques.
Antique lacquer repair, Kamakura bori, carved lacquer
This is something I am doing as a learning project with a teacher who studied makie.
The carved lacquer has come off this very old whisk. The whisk itself dates to at least the Edo period but since it is damaged no one wanted it at the antiques auction I picked it up at.
The first step was to remove all the loose lacquer and then to apply a middle black in order to stabilize the remaining lacquer.
