1. Cut a piece of mud and put it on a flat plate. Push hard with both hands and roll like kneading dough.

2. When the mud has been rubbed for a long time, put your hands together and press hard with your palms, and roll the mud in the opposite direction from the middle.

3. After the mud roll is divided into two sections, you can see that there are still small holes where it has not been rubbed. Take a roll of mud in each hand, try to keep your hands apart and get ready to hit the mud together.

4. Knock the two parts of the mud roll together hard, so that they can be rubbed at the same time.

5. Put the long mud column on the workbench and practice it again.

6. Knead two columns of mud until they are completely blended. Repeat this process for many times until the mud mass is uniform.

7. Drop the clay ball on the table repeatedly with both hands, and roll the clay ball with both hands in the middle every time. The impact firmly binds the mud and makes it rotate.

8. Continue to hit the rolling mud ball and knead it into a mud column.

Mud kneading method and purpose

Mud kneading is a common manual skill, which reshapes soil or clay through finger massage and kneading. This method is generally used in pottery, sculpture and handicrafts, with the aim of creating artistic works or practical products of various shapes.

The main purpose of kneading mud is to change and shape the shape of materials by hand. Usually, soil or clay will become soft and easy to form after adding water. Mud kneading can shape these soft materials according to your own wishes, creating various shapes and textures. Pressing, stretching and kneading with fingers can change the shape and texture of the material and make it more in line with the designer's intention.

The basic steps of mud kneading method include preparing materials, adjusting the humidity of materials, kneading and molding. First of all, you need to prepare the soil or clay you need. These materials can be natural or artificial. Next, it is necessary to adjust the humidity of the material as needed to make it reach the most suitable state for kneading and molding.

Generally speaking, if the soil or clay is too wet, it will make the material muddy and difficult to form, while if it is too dry, it will make the material fragile and easy to break. Methods of adjusting humidity include adding proper amount of water or drying materials properly.

Once the material reaches a state suitable for kneading and molding, it can be kneaded. The kneading process needs to press, stretch and knead the material with fingers and palms to change the shape and texture of the material. Pressing can make the material more compact and firm, stretching can change the length and shape of the material, and kneading can make the material more uniform and soft. In the process of kneading, it is necessary to constantly adjust the humidity and temperature of the material according to the needs to keep the kneading going smoothly.

The purpose of kneading mud is not only to shape materials, but also to express the designer's intention and create unique works of art. By hand, designers can transform their ideas and ideas into concrete shapes and textures. Mud kneading can make designers feel and master the characteristics of materials more intuitively, thus giving full play to their creativity and imagination.

In the process of kneading mud, designers can adjust and modify the shape and appearance of materials at any time to achieve the most ideal effect.
