What do Clay before working with it to get the air bubbles out?

Before working with clay, it's essential to wedge it thoroughly to remove air bubbles. This process involves kneading the clay, which not only helps eliminate trapped air but also improves its consistency and workability. Wedge the clay by pressing it down and folding it over repeatedly to ensure an even texture. Properly wedged clay reduces the risk of cracks and explosions during firing.
