Barbara Gittings, ceramicist, makes Nerikomi bottles in her workshop.
Nerikomi is a contemporary Japanese term. The name derives from the traditional technique of creating patterns with coloured clay.
Barbara demonstrates in the video how slabs of clays coloured with stains or oxides, are stacked, folded, pressed into logs, sliced, and arranged to form a vessel.
Original music composed and performed by Donna McKevitt.
