This workshop will spend two full days (20th and 22nd July) teaching you about handbuilding with nerikomi (mixed-coloured clay) and neriage, throwing with mixed clay, to create your own pottery pieces. We will explore how to colour clay with oxides and discuss glazing possibilities. The third day (30th July) will be a glazing session.
The workshop is ideal for people who have some knowledge of handbuilding and throwing. Those who wish to throw on the wheel should ideally be able to centre clay and make a cylinder. If you prefer to focus solely on handbuilding, this workshop is also suitable for you.
The tutor will demonstrate on making nerikomi using 2 types of clay as well as colouring
clay with oxides. Students can decide on what they want to make or can be guided by
the tutor. Demonstrations on throwing or niage will happen throughout the 2 days. If pieces are fired, they will be glazed.
Look at videos on YouTube or instagram to familiarise yourself with nerikomi
techniques and come to class with an apron or something with which to protect
your clothes.
