In art class, we had to make a sculpture out of clay and then heat it in the kiln so it would harden into a solid piece.

If there is a lot of rain in a place full of dirt, the dirt will feel like clay afterwards, though on a technicality it is nothing more than wet dirt.

You most commonly find clay in art classrooms, where it is used to make sculptures since it is so easily manipulated and molded.

A piece of clay looks like wet dirt, but it is soft and sticky, staying together and able to be molded into different shapes.

If you’ve ever lived in an area that had a lot of red clay, you’ve probably stained your hands with the sticky dirt whenever you played with it.
