Ceramics: nerikomi

Nerikomi is a Japanese technique of fusing together coloured clay masses.

 22.01 & 29.01 I 17.00–19.00

In this two-part ceramics course, thin slabs of coloured clay are cut from fused masses to form small, Japanese-style bowls, perfect for serving sushi, for example. In the second session, the dishes are glazed in a colour of your choice. In the nerikomi technique, the pattern remains equally visible on the inside and outside of the object.

Jarõna Ilo, the ceramics master at Kumu Studios, has worked as a freelance ceramicist for over twenty years. Her work emphasises both commercial ceramics and more abstract forms and techniques, which the master shares with both experienced and new ceramic lovers.
