Clay kneading

Clay kneading is an advanced ceramic art technique that uses two or more types of clay of different colours to create natural patterns (cloud-like, wave-like, spirals, braids…) by kneading and pressing them together. The clay kneading technique originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, and similar techniques exist in Japan and Korea.
