Like many we’ve sometimes been drawn to a piece of pottery and yes, as we’ve looked at it and seen its condition, we became too afraid and decided to abandon it to its shelf and its tragic fate as an object too damaged to be part of our lives.
But one day, as we met new people, we realised that if we surrounded ourselves with people who are repairers at heart, we could accompany these pieces and give them a new start in life.
There’s something so satisfying about seeing a piece covered in a new coat of colour, seeing a missing piece reappear, seeing a motif that had been hidden under a layer of dust resurface, and in so doing restoring to its former glory an object that was conceived and created, sometimes, in another century and by nimble hands from another world.
