Nerikomi: The Art of Colored Clay

Thomas Hoadley

Description

Mix two or more colours of clay as part of a piece's design, and you are creating nerikomi. There are many techniques – stacking, stretching, slicing – but with nerikomi, the decoration is built and fired into the work's very fabric, rather than glazing it later. This beautifully illustrated introduction by accomplished nerikomi specialist Thomas Hoadley includes:

  • A brief history of the origins and international styles of coloured clay
  • A section dedicated to the most honoured Japanese Masters of nerikomi
  • Stunning examples of work from the world's leading experts
  • Step-by-step examples of many of the techniques employed

Whether you simply enjoy the beauty of multicoloured clay, or are seeking inspiration, this book contains everything you need to embark on your own nerikomi projects.
