Last week, I was invited to attend a dinner in honor of the Ambassador of Uruguay’s trip to Montevideo. Everyone in attendance was encouraged to sit at tables with people they didn’t know, and so I ended up sitting with a family from Uruguay that now lives in St. Paul and a gentleman from Uruguay who now lives in Minnetonka.

I remember repairing a broken cup years ago. It was one of my favorite cups, so I glued it back together. It was never quite the same again, so I used it for a pencil holder. I tried to make the repair invisible, but I wasn’t able—the cracks always showed. I didn’t know at that time, that there was a Japanese art called Kintsugi that started in the 1400s. Kintsugi is known as “golden repair.” According to wellbeing. com, “It was thought to be the invention of Japanese shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who charged his craftsmen with finding a more thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing way of fixing a broken tea bowl, rather than the traditional method of using ugly metal staples. Using precious metals, including gold, Japanese craftsmen started to bond together pieces of pottery by drawing attention to, rather than away from, the breaks, which in turn had the effect of making the break the most important part of the piece itself.”

Each week, the Advocate Tribune will share a photograph from our archives for you to “guess who”. To submit your guesses, send us a message by email to jstolen-jacobson@cherryroad.com or message our Facebook page. We will publish the answers the next week.
I recently came across this reading on Facebook and felt I should share it with you. If you have already seen it, it might be worthwhile to read through it again.
Important art update: our reverse-snowbird fairies have finally picked up sticks! If you’ve walked along Prentice St. over the last week, you may have noticed that our solstice village has been unearthed from the sheet of ice that trapped it there for far longer than planned… all thanks to gallery employee Lisa, who spent multiple hours hacking away (and may have incurred a minor case of winter sunburn as a result) to safely transport the houses to their secret summer storage location.
