Wedging

noun / verb (pottery)

Wedging is the process of preparing clay before throwing or hand-building. The clay is repeatedly folded and compressed to create an even consistency and remove trapped air.

It’s the first stage of the making process, helping the clay respond predictably and reducing the risk of flaws later on.
