Hon-Kintsugi Repair & Classes
At Ma Kōbō, broken ceramics are not discarded — they are honored.
Through the Japanese art of hon-kintsugi repair, each fracture is studied, cared for, and patiently restored with natural urushi lacquer.
The beauty of kintsugi is not in hiding damage, but in walking with it.
Layers of lacquer mend what was broken. The final shimmer — in gold, silver, or other metals — is only an accent, a reminder of the care beneath.
Ma Kōbō offers:
Traditional kintsugi repair services for cherished ceramics
Small-group kintsugi classes in Colorado and Costa Rica
Seasonal Hands + Table workshops, bringing together craft
and shared meals
Each invitation is to slow down, to work with your hands, and to discover the quiet beauty of repair.
