They are could consist of different materials, like clay, sand, or rocks.
Clay is made of small molecules that are easily molded into different shapes. When in a plastic form the clay can be shaped, carved, pressed and turned. When the clay is allowed to dry, it becomes hard, but it is still formed of the small molecules, and is easily dissolved. When the clay molecules are heated they literally fuse into neighboring molecules. The firing of clay pots prevent water from dissolving the clay. Clay can have more or less strength, based on the impurities and how hot the clay was fired.
Water is what makes clay slippery. Too much water and it is a goo called "slip" , too little water and it is a dry powder. Clay is formed from particles that are flat hexagonal sheets less than 2 microns in size. The microscopic clay particles slide past each other easily when wet and make the slippery feel.
Like a wet sand and feel like a wet and smooth like a heard jelly .
