Nerikomi in Boulder

Nerikomi (also called neriage) is a Japanese technique where different colored clays are layered, folded, and sliced to reveal intricate internal patterns. Think of it like millefiori glass, but in clay. The patterns run all the way through the wall of the pot.

At Boulder Pottery Studio, we teach nerikomi workshops where you'll learn to stain clay with oxides and stains, stack and fold layers, and slice to reveal stunning cross-section patterns.
