Nerikomi Workshop

Although the word nerikomi comes from Japan, where the technique was popularised in the late 20th century, its roots reach back much further. Marbled clay can be traced through China’s gi ware of the Song dynasty, England’s agateware, and even earlier experiments in Rome and Egypt. In this playful one-off workshop, you’ll explore the contemporary approach to nerikomi, layering two contrasting clays to form striking patterns, each piece entirely unique.
