9am-4pm

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to explore various methods of the Nerikomi/inlay technique. Lynda will show you how to colour white clay and use different clay bodies to layer into canes or blocks. These canes/blocks will be thinly sliced and used to create patterned clay, which will then be formed into vessels or objects of their choice.

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