Mishima in Boulder
Learn mishima inlay technique in Boulder. Fill carved lines with contrasting slip for detailed pottery designs.
Mishima is an elegant inlay technique originating from Korean ceramics. You carve fine lines or patterns into leather-hard clay, then fill them with contrasting colored slip. After the excess is scraped away, you're left with clean, precise inlaid designs.
At Boulder Pottery Studio, we teach mishima as part of our surface decoration curriculum. It's a technique that rewards patience and precision — the results are stunning line drawings permanently embedded in clay.
