I'm in total awe today by the clay work of
Irodori- such beautiful and well-executed patterns! I love when I get totally impressed by someone who works in clay- where something surprises me, makes my jaw drop and has me wanting to see more. That's all coloured clay put into a patterned block and rolled out- it's so remarkable that the shapes aren't getting distorted in the process. That takes a lot of skill, patience and practice! Wish I could read japanese and could purchase something...

I totally agree! I know Nerikomi, that is called in Japan, is very difficult. They need patience and time. Even experienced potters have high risk of cracking, warping etc. when they make these works. I am thinking to get one or two pieces next time when I go back to japan!
Hi Midori- thanks for up-dating me on the actual name for this process!
These are really something! I've been playing with some colored clay, and it is so hard to not let the colors get all blurred when making patterns.
Hi, again. I wanted to get a link to other Nerikomi potter's site in Japan, but I couldn't find it. My bookmark is in chaos.... He does white in white, which is really exquisite when it was doen well, and he also teaches and wrote a book as well.
