Decima Clay Studio | Nerikomi Workshop

Learn the ancient Japanese technique of Nerikomi. Nerikomi is a decorative ceramic process which involves stacking coloured clay and then slicing through the cross section to reveal a pattern, which can then be used as a surface decoration. The outcome reflects a combination of both careful planning and accidental surprise resulting in colourful and endless surface patterns.

In this 3hr course you will be taught various Nerikomi techniques which can be applied in into your own choice of tableware – dish or plate. Choose from our range of colours to create more traditional marbled patterns or a more freeform organic design…

How many people will there be in each class?

There will be up to 8 students per session. We pride ourselves in our relaxed intimate environment allowing more one on one time with the teacher.

What Should I Wear?

While the majority of clay can easily be washed out of your clothing, working with terracotta and deeper colours can leave stains. Please come dressed in clothing you do not mind getting dirty and can easily be put through the washing machine. We will provide each maker with an apron for their use during the session.

What Should I bring?

Each class will be fully stocked with all the materials and tools needed. All clay, glazes and firings are included within the cost of the course. Please bring your own sketchbook and drawing/writing materials for note taking and design sketching.

Will there be food provided?

We will provide a range of teas and coffees and some light biscuits. If you would like some a more substantial meal we are conveniently located near Mercato Metropolitano and Borough Market where you can find a range of local restaurants and delis.

What are the COVID precautions?

We will always be in keeping with the government guidelines for Schools and Education. Our teachers are tested regularly. If you are feeling unwell please do not come in to the session.

Do you have disability access?

Our studio is fully wheelchair accessible. If you have any special needs or requirements please let us know in advance and we will try and accommodate you as best as possible.
