Nerikomi 19/08/25 Afternoon session

Service Description

The Japanese technique of Nerikomi is known for its intricate pattern within the clay itself. It involves staking and slicing coloured clay to create a multi-coloured loaf or patterned slices, which are then used to create ceramic forms. During this workshop you will learn a bit about the background of this technique and make a "loaf" yourself that can then be made into a tile, bowl or plate. Please note, that the focus of this workshop is on learning the technique. The workshop will last ca 2 to 2.5 hours and once your piece is dry and fired, we will glaze it in a neutral transparent glaze for you. You will be able to pick it up ca 3 to 4 weeks after the workshop. This workshop is suitable for most skill levels but is ideal for those who have some experience with clay already. We will provide a black and a white stoneware clay, all tools and formers. Since Mrs Health and Mr Safety are with us too, we cannot allow food or drink to be consumed in the studio. However, you are welcome to bring a water bottle that can be closed securely. Please bring an apron or wear old clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (although all clay and glazes wash out easily).
