Workshop Details
Nerikomi (often referred to as Neriage) is a decorative process established in Japan, that involves stacking coloured clay and then slicing through the cross-section to reveal a pattern that can then be used as an applied decoration. Nerikomi designs provide a wonderful way to work three dimensionally with patterns and images. 

We will spend a little time looking at examples of the use coloured clays from different pottery traditions, eg nerikomi, millifiori and agateware.  Using clay coloured with either oxides or stains, there will be 5-6 different coloured clays to work with.  We will explore methods of building designs and patterns first on paper and then with the clay.  We will use moulds to shape the clay into bowls, plates etc. Pieces can also be made into jewellery.
