They sent us home with enough information (plus a tiny custom brush) to try repairs at home. Kintsugi can ...more

We were concerned about doing this….as it is described as “glass etching”. Something we have not done ever in our life, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the process. ...more
