Mandy Cheng Porcelain Nerikomi

My porcelain works are designed to look graceful and minimalist, they conjure a feeling of lightness and a sense of movement. The signature mesmerizing patterns mimic the vivid diversity of nature, but are not painted on. Using Nerikomi method, the patterns are meticulously prepared by repeated cutting and layering of porcelain sheets. My hands-on approach ensures every pattern is unique and unrepeatable. The works are both functional and decorative: timeless objects to behold and use.

500

This is the 500th piece of work sold (at SO Fine Art Editions, Dublin) since I focused on hand building porcelain work using Nerikomi colouring technique !

Other then the first one bought by a friend from home, the other 499 pieces have all been sold through galleries, at exhibitions and Biennials, in Ireland, UK, France, Germany and Singapore.

To know that people who don’t know me at all, see my works and decide to bring them home, always give me a wonderful warm feeling, and is a source of motivation to keep creating! Thank you.

New Delivery

Just delivered a collection of new works to Contemporary Ceramics Center, London. A few snapshots of the display there.

Cracked vessels

As my porcelain Nerikomi work gets bigger and taller, I have more pots that cracked after final firing, at 1200 degrees, result of stress build up in the layering of coloured porcelain technique. At the moment, over half develop cracks!

This year, this Nerikomi pattern has the most cracking problem, out of 5 pieces fired, only this one survived!
