## Video Transcript

[00:00:00] Welcome to my studio! Today, I’m going to show you how to make marbled stoneware tumblers using the Neriage technique. First, we’re going to take colored clays and wedge them together to create a beautiful marbled pattern.

[00:00:15] Then, we’ll shape the clay on the potter’s wheel into tumblers. After shaping, we’ll trim the bottoms to give them a clean finish.

[00:00:25] Next, we’ll use mason stain to add color to the inside of the cups. Once the cups are glazed, we’ll fire them in an electric kiln using a Skutt KM-714.

[00:00:38] After firing, we’ll finish the tumblers to perfection, making them smooth and ready for use.

[00:00:45] And there you have it! Beautiful marbled stoneware tumblers using the Neriage technique.
