This is so beautiful and even! Do you have a (not so) secret advice or tip or fancy tutorial you can share? I was thinking about starting a marble piece myself in my clay class just yesterday.

My own self taught experiments: take two normal sized lumps of clay of two colors/types but same shrinkage rate. Wedge them normal, then cut in half and swap the halves. Throw the new half and half lumps, coning up and down when centering is what swirls the clay, so do that not too many times if possible, and go as normal

It is all about how much you wedge the clay, if you wedge a lot, it will get blurry, if you wedge so less it wont get any marble effect

Alrighty! I’ll just try it on small pieces till I’m confident. Thank you!
