Nerikomi is a Japanese pottery technique that builds pattern directly into clay using stacked, sliced, and reassembled blocks of colored clay. It's intricate, slow, and visually striking — and rarely taught to teens anywhere.

Over the series, students will design their own simple pattern structures (stripes, checkers, geometric blocks), build them into nerikomi blocks, slice and reveal the patterns, and use the resulting pieces to handbuild a finished work of their choice. We glaze and fire every piece for pickup 4 weeks after the final session.

For students with some craft experience and the patience for detailed work. A great fit for art-inclined teens who've outgrown standard craft classes.
