In the video, a person is seen working with pink clay on a white surface. The person rolls out the clay with a rolling pin and then places a piece of paper with a floral pattern on top of the clay. They then fold the clay over the paper and roll it out again to create a smooth, even surface. The person repeats this process several times, carefully folding and rolling the clay to achieve the desired shape. The video provides a clear demonstration of the technique used to create a smooth, even surface on the clay.
