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.

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!

Embrace, Nerikomi 'Lightning'
