- Using different coloured clay bodies we will introduce you to Nerikomi; the technique of layering, marbling and combining different coloured clays to create designs. Nerikomi ware dates back to the Tang dynasty in China (618-907 AD), but was refined and popularized in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). It has developed and transformed over the centuries, becoming incorporated into the Japanese ceramic tradition and adapted to contemporary styles.
-The session will last 2 hours.
-At the end of the workshop, if you wish to have your piece fired and glazed, we ask you to pay an additional £10 to cover firing costs, glaze materials & transport of your work. The work will be glazed in transparent glaze allowing you to see the patterns and designs created using Nerikomi.
