How to Make a Nerikomi Plate with Colored Clay
This is one way to make nerikomi pottery plates from colored clay. You can also use this technique to make other nerikomi projects.
I go through my simple way of making colored clay, how I prepare the clay, and how I put the nerikomi plate together.

Just mesmerising. A lesson in patience, skill and perfectionism with a whole load of mindfulness to boot. ❤
Great! Thank you so much for showing and explaining! Although I'm not a native speaker I could understand everything because you speak clearly in a calm voice. Great plate you made!
Oh my god...how beautiful is that?!!! All the work, patience and time is absolutely worth it.😍
I used a slab to make a plate yesterday and gosh I wish I had seen this first. I LOVE the idea of using the bendy cutting board!! This is an amazing piece you’ve made. I used to make polymer clay pieces like this and can’t imagine doing it with regular clay!! I’ve never thought of using wax resist on greenware!! Great idea!!

Beautifully cheerful colourful plate. I do a pottery class and have a fold away kitchen table where I do some at home and I've been interested in nerikomi, but I have only done a simple checkerboard with a blue clay, and it was so mess. Your method with the bagged slip is genius. I am also experimenting with adding iron oxide instead of stains as it's cheaper. Thanks again for sharing your amazing work. :)

Hey there, the clay I'm using here is Scarva Earthstone extra smooth (ES10) 🙂
New to pottery here. Amazing bravo 🙌🏻…. Question: why do you wait two weeks before firing?

The clay has to be super dry before firing. If there is water in the clay at the firing, it can break.
