SUMMARY:nerikomi workshop
DESCRIPTION:Discover the mesmerizing art of Nerikomi\, a Japanese technique that celebrates color\, pattern\, and precision through the layering and slicing of contrasting clays. In this workshop\, participants will work with white and brown clay to craft intricate marbled and geometric patterns that reveal the natural beauty of clay itself—no glaze required. The process encourages patience\, control\, and experimentation\, resulting in unique surfaces that are as tactile as they are visual. \nkey learning objectives:\nLearn the fundamentals of Nerikomi using white and brown clay bodies\nExplore pattern creation through layering\, slicing\, and assembling colored clays\nUnderstand clay compatibility\, moisture balance\, and joining techniques\nDevelop forms that highlight pattern continuity and visual rhythm\nRefine and finish pieces to enhance contrast and material depth \nwhat to expect:\nStep-by-step demonstrations of Nerikomi preparation and composition\nHands-on experimentation with patterned slabs and vessels\nGuidance on cutting\, arranging\, and building forms from patterned blocks\nTechniques for refining\, burnishing\, and finishing unglazed Nerikomi surfaces\nA meditative and rewarding experience celebrating clay’s natural duality and expressive potential
