== Acquiring Clay ==

[[Clay]] deposits are commonly found in temperate climates and can be harvested with bare hands or a shovel. There are different types of clay in the world, blue clay and fire clay. For tool molds and items like bowls and pots, either kind of clay may be used, but the [[Bloomery|bloomery]] must be built with [[Fire_Brick|fire clay bricks]].

== Shaping Molds and Items ==

[[File:Clay_mold_recipe_dialog.png|right|thumb|200px|]]

# Select clay in the active hand.  

# Aim the white crosshairs on a solid surface and {{SneakClick|open}} the clay forming menu and select the item to be crafted.

# When all layers of the item or mold are completed, the dialog box will disappear and the formed items will jump into the inventory of the player who placed or removed the last voxel of clay. Formed items can be placed on a surface before firing and {{Using|picked up}}. Breaking will not destroy an item.

===Clay Tool Modes===

To change the number of clay voxels added or removed (1x1, 2x2 and 3x3), press F and select the 'brush size' as indicated by the first three menu options. The last tool menu option,'Copy' allows a player to duplicate identical layers of clay voxels. When this menu option is selected, {{Using|added}} "layer" of clay will match the pattern of voxels directly underneath the current layer "under construction".

=== Clay Oven ===

''See also [[Clay Oven]].

This specific item can only be formed with fire clay, and requires a hefty amount of it. It can be used without firing afterwards, and is necessary for making good bread and pie.

==Pit Kiln==

Once the form is complete, the clay items must be baked in a [[pit kiln]], as well as requiring dry grass, sticks, and firewood or peat. The one exception to this is the clay oven.

Pit kilns generally take about 20 in-game hours to complete. Once fired, pottery items can then be used.

==Using Finished Pottery Items and Molds==

Many of the items made with clay are containers used in other types of crafting. Most baked items can be {{SneakClick|placed}} on the ground, and many pottery items can be {{Using|picked up}} again with an empty hand.

===Using Items===

The Claypot and Bowls are used in Food and [[cooking]], while the watering can has a use in [[farming]]. Crocks and Storage Vessels are containers used in [[food preservation]]. Shingles can be used to construct [[Ceramic Blocks#Clay Shingles|clay shingles blocks]], Flowerpots and Planters are [[containers#stationary containers|containers]] used in decorating. Lamellae are used as components in crafting [[armor]]

===Using Molds===
