They get clay from potting supply stores.
A lump of clay is called a CLOD
The Greeks used a really weird type of clay called the tiygu. This clay is very soft until fired then it becomes harder than most clays. The Greek, sometimes, also use a clay called dertiu which is a very rare clay found in Canada. This type of clay is very hard and only some of the more experienced Greeks could make pots with dertiu clay>
Before the potters wheel pots were made from slabs of clay that were placed together, or by making snakes of clay and coiling them together. It would be easy to allow a small hole to be in the clay and so make the pot useless using these methods. The wheel allows a pot to be made from one piece of clay which would be more watertight. (A glaze is still required to make it fully watertight) Also the speed of making pots on a wheel is much greater than doing it by hand and so mass production is much easier. P.S.: i mean something other than that :)

to make clay easier to shape and heat, potters use something called temper.
Your question needs to be more specific for us to answer, for instance is the clay wet or dry, are you talking about geological formations of clay or a lump of potters clay. If you apply hand pressure to a lump of potters clay and the clay is wet it will squeeze (deform) between your fingers. If the clay is dry it will be too firm to deform by hand but if placed in a vice it will crack.......etc.
Potters throwing clay on a potter's wheel use the forces of physics to shape the clay as it spins.
