At M’s Studio, we offer repair jobs for your chipped or cracked pottery, price depending on the severity of the damage.
There are three different types of damage for ceramic items:
- Crack – a line on the surface of the piece which has split without breaking apart.
- Chip – a small piece of the ceramic is missing/ broken off
- Split – the ceramic item is in several separate pieces
For enquiries on any repair work, please contact Jun on kintsugi2000@gmail.com
