My name is Joanne Leak. I am the owner of Leak Enterprises, a porcelain restoration company devoted to the meticulous restorative art of returning broken porcelain art objects to their former undamaged beauty. I have been working in this restoration field since 1986.

I received my formal art training at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and apprenticed with the Eric W. Idstrom Company, a highly respected restoration studio located at that time in Pompano Beach, Florida. Through my apprenticeship, I discovered a wonderfully challenging and satisfying field of work.

In 1991, the Idstrom company moved to Belleview, FL, which is where we are now located. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Idstrom retired, and my own company, Leak Enterprises, took over all restoration duties for the Eric W. Idstrom Company.

In 1993, a very talented, award winning sculptor named Matthew Lewis began working at the studio, and together we breathe new life into art objects once thought irretrievably lost due to damage or missing pieces.

Our company is listed by the Lladro Society as a qualified restoration company for Lladro figurines, and we are also recognized with the same honor by the Hummel Society for the restoration their figurines.
