Nerikomi 
x Peaches


Jun 15






  PEACHES THE STUDIO  /  WORKSHOP  /  PEACHES THE STUDIO  /  WORKSHOP  /  CLAY  /






This workshop is in tandem with Peaches the Studio, a Portland-based ceramics studio. Over the course of 6+ hours, participants will learn to create nerikomi plates. The process begins with learning how to pigment clay, followed by stacking, slicing, and reassembling the colored clay into nerikomi blocks. Students will then use custom plaster slump molds designed & made by Peaches to shape their nerikomi blocks into dishware. 

Once the pieces are dried, they will be sent to Peaches' private studio for firing and glazing. Each participant will have the opportunity to fire and glaze up to four plates. After firing, the finished works will be available for pick-up at Landdd.

Peaches’ work @peachesthestudio

 



 




Peaches is a multidisciplinary art, design, and mold making studio headed by Julia Sherman and Thomas Sprott. Peaches designs and creates highly thoughtful yet minimal objects that explore identity, self-expression, functionality, and color. Peaches prides themselves on the physicality and the labor they invest into their work.

The porcelain forms of Peaches are hand made through an intensive process of slip casting.  The greenware casted forms are then bisque fired to cone 06, sanded, and washed.  Next, glaze is applied to specific areas of the forms for functionality and the pieces are then glaze fired to cone 10.  Lastly, the vitrified forms are sanded smooth.
