Nerikomi Workshop With Ivy Weinglass

Clay artists of all levels are invited to join Brooklyn-based ceramicist Ivy Weinglass for an evening of clay play. In this workshop, discover Ivy’s version of Nerikomi, a Japanese decorative process in which you layer different colored clays and then cut through the cross section to reveal patterns. As she demonstrates her approach to working with clay and shares the little tricks she’s learned along the way, you’ll learn from start to finish how to prep and create a slab to work from. Ivy will also share how she makes her bestselling Range Series pieces, essentially painting with sections of patterned clay to create a landscape. By the end of the workshop, you will have created your own Nerikomi-inspired pieces and learned valuable tips on how to incorporate this centuries-old technique into your own work.
