I mentioned wedging on wood a few days ago. It seems there is a discepancy
or misunderstanding with the terminology =22wedging=22 and =22kneading=22.
Wedging is a method where you cut the clay in half (with the clay wedgeing
up off the surface at about 30 - 45 degree angle this is easy) and bring the
cut half down on top of the part on the wedging (table) surface, and repeat.
I use the Stoke-on Trent method.
Kneading (which everybody seems to be talking about and calling it wedging)
is a process of moving the clay in a rythmical motion and folding it back on
itself, viz: bulls horns (or nose) method or spiral kneading. I use both, as
I interchange if I am getting a bit of RSI using the spiral method, and vice
versa.
Sorry vince, as I inadvertantly posted to you direct instead of to clayart.

Traditionally what you say is correct, however, the terms
have come to
be used interchangably in the US.
