You have to put water in it then roll it.
no your retarted thats how you make it harder
clay could be made pourous if we add water to it to soften it and remove all hard parts of it

To soften a plastic that has become hard, heat can be applied to gently soften the plastic. Softening clay like Play-Doh requires water. Softening acrylic paint will require water. Softening oil based paint will require paint thinner. To soften leather, water can be used and the leather stretched back into shape before it dries.
If you put "real" clay (not playdough or modeling clay) in a microwave, you'll succeed in doing two things. One is heating it, and the other is driving moisture out of it. The latter is counterproductive, as the "correct" way to soften clay is to work moisture into it. Think this through and it will make sense. In a better equipped studio or ceramic shoppe, you'll find what is called a pugmill. This is used to mix materials like clay, and it is often used to "revive" material that has dried out a bit too much to be effectively worked. A sculptor or a helper can run clay and a bit of water through the pugmill and soften it. Anyone who has ever worked a bit of moisture into clay by hand to change its consistency knows how labor intensive it is. Roll up your sleeves if you don't have a machine. If you are seeking to soften oil- or polymer-based clays, warming them a bit will help, but note that the polymer clays can end up thermosetting if you are not careful. Clay made at home based in paper or flour is best softened in the manner of the clays used in ceramics -- mix in a littlewater with lots of elbow grease.
Yes, you can. Example: The man was beating the clay to soften it which was the reason why the cat scared the nearby dog.
Personally I wouldn't put clay in a fish tank due to the properties of clay. It will change the pH of your water and as the clay sits in the tank it will soften and dissolve clogging your filter an clouding the water. In addition, to many of those tiny particles floating in the water can't be good for your fish' gills either. Just an opinion.
Try soaking in a hot bath, this will soften them as they protect the skin underneath, don't pick at them, as it could make them worse.
It acts as the mordant to soften the mycolic acid so that the stain can penetrate the cell.
I'm going to assume that you mean in an oven, the answer is no. I tried one time to put an oil based clay snail that I made in the oven, it melted into a puddle. Yes , you can heat slightly to soften to form but not the finished project because of above comment
The opposite of soften is - harden
