Episode 255 - Anne Taggart

Crafting a Revolution

Anne Taggart is originally from the Northeast US and the mountains of Vermont. She currently calls the mountains of West Virgina Home. Anne loves to make and fix things. She studied the traditional Japanese Kintsugi with a third-generation urushi lacquer artist from Kyoto, Japan. The traditional Japanese ceramics repair practice of kintsugi is associated with the aesthetic tradition of wabi-sabi, or the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Anne uses traditional materials and brings deep respect for the history and origins of kintsugi and urushi lacquer art forms to her work. Every attempt is made to honor the history and cultural importance of this traditional art form while sharing it with the world.
