Unlike surface decoration, Nerikomi builds pattern directly into the clay body itself, layering, stacking, and folding differently coloured clays until intricate designs run through the material from edge to edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOver two days, you'll learn to prepare and condition coloured clays, build your own pattern blocks and work through four distinct pattern designs, each resulting in a finished ceramic piece approximately 15 cm in diameter. Eiko will guide you through every stage, from initial slab to shaped, refined form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis workshop is open to makers at all levels. No prior experience with Nerikomi is required, though some familiarity with hand-building is an asset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT EIKO MAEDA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEiko Maeda trained in Japanese lacquer at Joshibi University of Art and Design in Tokyo before discovering ceramics after relocating to Canada.
