Creating Secondary Colors

To create a third new color, I mix two existing colors together. I weigh each color then shape it into a sloped triangle shape. I almost always add i part of white clay for each part of colored clay since I mix very saturated colors.

Flip so the thickest end of one color matches the thin end of the other.

I slice the resulting loaf into five or six numbered pieces.

I knead each slice separately and re-number it.
