Ceramics: Natural Nerikomi (five sessions)
Adult Class | Registration opens Monday, July 7, 2025 8:00 AM EDT
In this class, we'll be learning about Nerikomi, a traditional Japanese technique of layering different clay bodies. This technique offers many surface options, and we will be going over repetitive patterns (i.e. checkered) and agate structures (i.e. marbled). We will be working with dark and light clay bodies.
This class will meet for five sessions on the following dates:
Friday, October 24
Friday, October 31
Friday, November 7
Friday, November 14
Friday, November 21
Firing Schedule: All work should be placed on the bisque firing shelf by Friday, November 1, and on the glaze firing shelf by Friday, November 8 to guarantee it will be fired by the last week of classes. Students can continue to drop off work for glaze firing until Monday, November 14. Finished work can be picked up during operational hours between terms, or the following term. We will store unclaimed work for one term only. Questions about the firing schedule can be directed to Scott Cooper, Senior Studio Technician at scooper@fleisher.org.
Please review your class schedule as not all classes meet through the week of November 14. All artwork and supplies must be removed from Fleisher’s Ceramics Studio shelving by November 21 unless registered for a Ceramics class during the upcoming Winter 2026 term.
