Nerikomi & mixed techniques workshop, June 16, Friday, 18:30 – 21:00

Nerikomi & Mixed techniques workshop

Nerikomi Is a Japanese hand-building pattern technique using colored clay.

‘Neri’ means to mix or blend, and ‘Komi’ means to press. You mix colored clay and then press it together.

The first step is preparing the colored clay, where you mix pigments and stains into the clay.

Then you layered it in different orders and patterns to create a block of clay. After, you slice the block into thin layers. Finally, you make a pattern in a repetitive (or abstract) way from these slices.

This is an introduction to the Nerikomi technique, you will learn how to create the different patterns, and you will make your plate using Nerikomi and a mix of other techniques (Like marbling and clay mix). This is an exciting and satisfying technique, and making it is so fun.

When the project is finished, you will leave it in my studio to get dry. Then, your project will be dipped in clear glaze, fired in my kiln, and will be ready for pickup after two weeks.

Costs include the teaching, all materials, tools, studio space, tea and cookies, and the pieces you have made.
