In this 4-5 hour class, students will explore the art of layering and slicing stained clay to create uniquely patterned slabs using the nerikomi technique. Use your slabs to hand build a mug and take the rest home for personal use. We’ll begin with an introduction to mason stains, covering essential safety information and usage. Each student will receive three pre-mixed colours of mason-stained clay, prepared in advance by Celina, and will learn how to build and manipulate a nerikomi block to create dynamic, colorful designs. Students typically complete one mug, with leftover patterned scraps often available for small additional objects. Please note: this class moves at a fast pace and covers a wealth of information—students often find it helpful to bring a notepad for taking notes. Open to adults
