Page Updated on: 3/11/2025
We strive for the highest quality and we treat each object entrusted to us with the utmost care
1) We are an operating ceramic studio with an in-depth knowledge of ceramics including porcelain, terra-cotta, and stoneware. Making pottery and ceramic sculptures regularly gives us the advantage of truly understanding the process and materials that were used originally to create your item that needs repair and restoration. By being familiar with these materials through our regular pottery and sculpture-making processes, we can make informed decisions about the restoration methods and materials that will best preserve the integrity and beauty of each piece.
2) We were selected for special projects for entities such as the US Capital, PGA, the White House and others. See video below about the Kintsugi Gift made for the White House as a gift for the Japanese Prime Minister Kishida and his wife - April 2024

4) When your broken piece of china, porcelain, pottery or sculpture is missing a piece or pieces, (e.g., a handle, limb, ear or spout), we can restore the pieces by using actual fired clay. Among other techniques, we have the ability to make an impression or replica of the missing piece with clay, fire it in our studio, and incorporate it into the restoration process to ensure your item retains its strength, beauty and value.
5) We have accomplished painters on staff who can replicate complex lost details on the restored ceramic.
6) We have an engineer on staff who understands ceramic art materials, use of the state-of-the-art restoration laboratory and it's instrumentation.
7) We have different levels of repair and restoration for you to choose from to meet your needs and budget requirements. Seamless repair (Mid and Best levels options), Kintsugi repair and Ancient Pottery repair.
8) We have many years of experience restoring thousands of valuable objects arriving within all USA states and abroad.
We serve individuals, collectors, the White House, Football Hall of Fame, PGA, Museums, insurance and moving companies, and several other entities.
