Neriage
Neriage is made by kneading together or piling up different colors of clay. All sorts of patterns can be produced depending on the method used to combine the clay colors, with cross-sections of kneaded clay appearing on the surface of the ceramics.
Did you know?
Different colors of clay contain different elements, and you have to take care to make sure it doesn't break or come loose. The finished pottery will have the same pattern on its exterior and its interior.
