Simply choose two types of clay, press the balls together and start working on the wheel. The final pattern is somewhat unpredictable, but can produce beautiful results.  <\/p><p>The way you combine the two colours of clay affects the end result, as does the way you throw. For example, if you move up and down a lot when centring, the clay will mix more than if you quickly move on to shaping. <\/p><p>Make sure the clays are compatible in terms of firing temperature and shrinkage. If one type shrinks more than the other, unsightly cracks could appear in your work. And that would be a shame!  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fc32a19 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fc32a19\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-875bd8c\" data-id=\"875bd8c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60bb7f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"60bb7f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" data-pin-lang=\"nl\" data-pin-board-width=\"750\" data-pin-scale-height=\"675\" data-pin-scale-width=\"180\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/DeCursist\/kleikleuren-mengen\/\"><\/a>\n<script async=\"\" defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a great option if you have leftover clay that needs using up or if you&#8217;re lacking glazing inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3580,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"Mixing clay colours | Cursist","_seopress_titles_desc":"This is a great option if you have leftover clay that needs using up or if you're lacking glazing inspiration.
