Clay needs to be fired to make it into proper pottery, but mortar should not be fired. It sets by chemical action, not by heat. (I'm talking about the sort of mortar you lay bricks with, because you haven't specified)

I recommend Sculpey clay for smaller projects. It comes in all sorts of colors and hardens right in the oven. You can get it at most craft stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
