Lakeside Pottery Studio

What materials and object types do you work on?

We work on ceramics, pottery, porcelain, china, figurines, and many types of sculptures and statues, including selected stone, bronze, metal, resin, and plaster. Each piece is evaluated individually based on its material, condition, size, damage, and restoration goals.

Do you offer both seamless restoration and Kintsugi?

Yes. Depending on the object and the customer's goals, we can discuss a seamless restoration approach or a Kintsugi-style finish that intentionally highlights the repair lines with gold or metallic finishes.

Can broken pottery be repaired so the damage cannot be seen by a casual observer?

In many cases, yes. Depending on the material, glaze, texture, color, and extent of damage, repairs can often be restored so well that the damage cannot be seen by a casual observer.

What is Kintsugi repair?

Kintsugi is a Japanese-inspired restoration technique where broken pottery is repaired and the repair lines are highlighted with gold or metallic finishes instead of concealed.

Do you use real gold for Kintsugi?

Yes. We offer Kintsugi using genuine 23.5-karat gold as well as Gold-Effect alternatives that resemble real gold at a lower cost.

Can you help with missing parts or broken-off sections?

In many cases, yes. Missing sections can often be rebuilt, sculpted, cast, or reconstructed depending on the object, material, surface detail, and structural requirements.

Do you repair sculptures, statues, and figurines?

Yes. We repair and restore many types of sculptures, statues, figurines, and decorative objects made from ceramic, porcelain, plaster, resin, stone, metal, and other materials.

Do you repair religious statues and ceremonial objects?

Yes. We restore many types of religious statues, figurines, and ceremonial objects made from ceramic, plaster, resin, stone, and other materials.
