What is "clay"?
Clay is a soft, natural material made from tiny particles of rocks and minerals. It becomes moldable when wet, making it ideal for shaping into different forms, and hardens when it dries or is baked. Clay is commonly used in pottery, bricks, tiles, and other construction materials. It is also used in making art, like sculptures, due to its ability to hold fine details. Clay is valued for its versatility and ability to be shaped into many different items while remaining strong and durable.
