ABOUT

Welcome to Kaolin, where the timeless artistry of ceramics and the delicate beauty of kintsugi come together to create unique, inspiring pieces.

Our Story

Kaolin was born out of a profound appreciation for the ancient traditions of ceramics and the transformative art of kintsugi. Our journey began with a simple belief: every piece of art tells a story, and those stories deserve to be shared and celebrated.

From the meticulous shaping of clay to the careful application of urushi (漆, traditional lacquer) in kintsugi repairs, we honor the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into each creation. Our name, Kaolin, is inspired by the primary material used in porcelain making, representing purity, creativity, and tradition.
