Explanation

Kneading refers to the process of thoroughly mixing clay, water, and other components to prepare the material for brick making. Moulding (shaping) is the step where the mixed clay is formed into bricks. Pugging is a similar process but often refers to refining clay. Drying or curing involves removing moisture after shaping. Casting is not typically used in brick making.
