Creating Nerikomi Blocks: Decorating with Colored Clay Patterns
Before your fearless Ceramic Arts Daily co-host Jennifer Harnetty went on maternity leave, she compiled several features, like this one, that she thought you would enjoy while she was out. It's like she packed us all lunches for several weeks. Something tells me she's going to fit the role of Mom really well. In this feature, Faith Rahill walks us step-by-step through the creation of a colored block of clay that she slices and uses as an inlay pattern on a platter. This is one of those techniques that is simple and straightforward, but requires a lot of attention to detail. Luckily, Faith covers all the bases for us so that we can plan for success. Enjoy!
