Key note! The clays not only have to be the same firing temperature but also the same shrink rate. If shrink rates differ by more than 3% cracks can form. Sometimes adding grog and or sand to the clay with a hire shrink rate can solve this problem.
This reminded me of of someone making "butterfly canes" recently... as it turns out it's also a type of Nerikomi! Maybe you can try more nerikomi techniques and designs (and perhaps colors)?
I took the bait and toyed around with the process. And this might be a no brainer to the veteran potters, but it became starkly obvious that the plasticity of the 2 clays has to be almost identical. So before you begin it's well worth insuring that one aspect. I don't risk a lot of clay on new techniques and lost none, just a word to the wise.
I used to take two different colors of clay, make one a cylinder. (this would be the main body color). Then I would cut out 3 half cylinders evenly around the cylinder. Then add the second color as coils down the trough. Then throw a mug on the wheel. Keeping the slip off the surface with a rib. Then fire it with clear. Kind of a spirograph swirl effect.
As someone working with pattern welded steel this makes me want to try out pottery lol You could probably do a lot of the same stuff if being able to work it delicately enough
It might be cool to try that and make a block with an asanoha star pattern in it to form various pieces from. That would take getting a lot of triangular bits going together for sure.
I love that you show new idears! Is it possible to do Millefiori with clay? I saw poeple do this with polymer clay but havent seen it with "real clay". I would love to try this, maybe you will try instat ?! Thank you for having us share this expirience.
Not a potter I know it would probably be a mess, and not easy since you shouldn't cone it or anything, but would be curious what kind of look you would get throwing a cup from that block.
❤ what if you have a b mix that fires at cone 56- porcelain & stoneware combo ?and you want to add coke 5-6 stoneware… will that work? Thanks for this video! Really inspiring!
Do you ventilate you kiln out the window? I would really like to get one, but I live in an apartment. I also found it's best to keep your kiln on a concrete floor, does that actually matter?
Thank you! I got it from my local supplier Carl Jäger. Idk where you’re based but I have some links to similar pins in the US/UK/etc here: www.potterytothepeople.com/tools ☺️
Soo beautiful! I'm very excited to give this technique a try! 😍Which transparent dip in glaze glaze do you use on these/is there one you would recommend? :)
Ya recorde yo mezcle ese clay esos cla y s asi y por eso cree ese patron de ceramic con esos Barroso de dos colores esas son mis ideas de hacerbun plato y con esa technical mía

it's like the clay version of damaskus steel! so cool!

Ive been using this technique for a while now, I didnt know it had a name, my grandma taught me. Lovely plates, thanks for the video!
that's awesome!
it’s got a couple of names, marbling is the most common english one.

It is definitely possible to make perfect checkboard nerikomi. I have seen a Japanese potter do it on TH-cam.

This is the humor I love for. 11/10.
So amazing and not an underglaze in sight!!
haha thank the lord 😆
Turned out super cool! This technique has been in my to do list for sooo long. I think I will try it soon! Thanks for sharing!
it's super fun... I want to make more!

Great technique - and you presented it so well. Thanks!
Loved this. Really enjoying your videos. Very informative and i love the calm presentation style and aesthetic
How fun and gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us❣️
thank you!! glad you enjoyed it :)
Your vids popping up in my feed always make me smile :)
thank is lovely to hear :D Thank you!
They’re like flying geese! So very cool!!
Never seen this before. Very sick. Gonna have to try this out myself!
I love this technique. I tried this myself last month. It was fun.
How cool they've turned out! thanks for the great video 😃
Thanks for your kind words!
💙 Fabulous, you could use the scrap clay for marbling. Don't forget to use clays that have a similar shrinkage rate 💙
It might be cool to try that and make a block with an asanoha star pattern in it to form various pieces from. That would take getting a lot of triangular bits going together for sure.
the wire cutter tool reminded me of nerdie nummies when Roe would cut the top of the cakes off :}
Cool results! Thank you for sharing your process!
very cool, I like that it's not a true checkerboard. It looks like an MC Escher drawing of birds flying.
good point! The non-checkerboard is my favorite too, but the one I'm working on for next week is turning out pretty cool too!
@@PotterytothePeoplesome of the shapes look like dogs 🐕.

I’m not sure but its a great idea! i will look into it :)
Kinda funny how similar this process is to making Damascus
I was thinking the same!
Just some layering innit
Watching your videos is really inspiring me to do some ceramics. Thank you from my iBed
im so glad they are helping you!
Wonderful technique!
thank you! ❤️
i would love to see you do a tutorial on how to make coloured clay :D
this is so fun, id love to experiment one day
This looks like a really fun thing to try! 💜💜💜
Super beautiful plate n bowl...please elaborate on type of clay and glaze color u used..and about food grade safe
So cool!! Love your work!
That is beautiful and for me, magical 😊
I'm so excited to try this!
its so great!! thanks for watching :)
thanks for sharing. Great instruction and fun to watch
thanks for watching! 🥰

Great technique and what dedication!
On an unrelated note, has anyone ever told you you could be Hozier's sister?
you can get pretty good at making regular checkerboards.
i like the psychedelic swirls better, myself.
❤ what if you have a b mix that fires at cone 56- porcelain & stoneware combo ?and you want to add coke 5-6 stoneware… will that work? Thanks for this video! Really inspiring!
Beautiful!!
These are so cool!
thanks for watching!
1:05 I hope that's the official term in the trade 🤣
Tu trabajo me gusta mucho sencillo y de calidad a la vez
Very cool!

Just loved this technique. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you Mia for sharing your expertise.
its so fun!!
Japan has a similar woodworking technique called yosegi
love this! Can you please give the US link/name for the specific clay you used for this project?
I have links to all my tools/materials & US equivalents here: www.potterytothepeople.com/tools :)
So beautiful! Also, so jealous of your rolling pin- if you don’t mind sharing I would love to know where it’s from

AMSR much appreciated

This is the one I use now and it's my favorite I've ever used-- it's developed by a friend of mine :) glazy.org/recipes/251663

You could probably draw your pattern out to make something similar to millefiori.
im gonna try this but with cookie dough
Title should have been
"I love making BIG ASS SLABS"
This technique is actually from China, since Tang dynasty
Fun!
M C Escher would be proud :)
You could call it tesselation in chaos. Kinda. Sorta. But nice work at any rate.
💖💖💖💖
Looks like a knife maker doing patern welded aka demasus steel.
"Thick ass slabs" is how you get a like and subscribe from me
The drunken cutting Baord is what it’s called!
It gives houndstooth
Rohrschach checker board 🙂
Hey Mia, pretty cool technique! I love experimenting! Did you get my email I sent you with some of my work?
M.C. Esher-esque
Superliked SUPER CHECK ✔️
You don't have to resort to necromancy to do pottery.
Que nerikomi ni que nerukomi eso me lo invente yo
