[[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]].

# The clay forming grid will appear on the selected surface. To craft the chosen mold or item, the 'green' colored voxels must be {{Using|filled}} and clay {{Breaking|removed}} from any 'orange' colored voxels to create each layer of the form. As each layer of the clay item is completed, the next layer will appear above the last.  It's helpful to sit on the ground (press 'G') while shaping clay.

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".

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.

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.

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]]
