I’m a restorer specialising in ceramic repairs using a Japanese technique called Kintsugi. I’ve been practicing Kintsugi since 2020, repairing found pieces to hone my skills and taking on commissions for clients across the globe. As Kintsugi is a Japanese craft, I am one of a small number of practitioners in the UK and Scotland.

I also collect damaged pieces from vintage and craft shops across Scotland to repair and sell online and at markets.

Background

I have a background in history, heritage, material and material culture, having completed a Degree in Classical Civilisation at the University of Glasgow. Whilst studying there I worked with a Curator of the University’s Museum as a Student Curator and gained a great deal of experience in object handling.

Alongside my interest in Japanese culture, this led me naturally to pursue the practice of Kintsugi. As a self-taught practitioner, I enjoy expanding my skills and experience with every unique piece that I work on.
