Patterns Will Amaze You

Each piece achieves individual effects that are satisfying to see come to life.


The term neriage is derived from the Japanese words "ne-ru, " meaning "to knead, " and "a-geru, " meaning "to raise up, " and is pronounced as "Ne-Ri-Ah-Gey".
Neriage is typically used for forming pottery on a potter's wheel. You will be amazed at the stunning wheel-thrown pieces achieved with these beautiful techniques. Create swirls and patterns to enhance the three pieces you will throw, as well as one handmade dish with leftover pieces.
Neriage is a labour-intensive process that requires patience and effort. To achieve the desired colours and patterns, the clay must be carefully mixed, and the surface must be thrown on the pottery wheel to reveal the pattern clearly, resulting in a highly detailed and intricate piece.
