Melanie learned about the Japanese art form Kintsugi over 10 years ago and was inspired by its philosophy of acknowledging the beauty in perceived flaws. Although the traditional Kintsugi method is not accessible for all, Melanie discovered how Modern Kintsugi can honor the traditional meaning and method while updating the materials to give access to all. Melanie is thrilled to guide you on your journey of discovering all Kintsugi has to offer.
