Gregory's ServerNo tea from the fancy pot anymore, I guess. I don’t know about glueing it – would you drink from a tea pot that wasn’t fixed with silver and gold but with some weird glue? I wonder how safe that is.

Well, I thought kintsugi was about melting gold and fixing tea vessels using liquid metals but now that I'm reading the Wikipedia page it seems that the actual fix is urushi, i.e. laquer with gold dust or whatever else you want. Maybe it's not so expensive after all… If only I knew where to get some material and some instructions here in Zürich. I'm curious, now.
Oh wow, there was a workshop in 2021 at the FabLab!! 😲 https://zurich.fablab.ch/events/klimawerkstatt-kintsugi/ … now that's unexpected!
