Is pottery a malleable or a brittle material?

Clay is malleable if there is water present in the clay body. As clay dries it goes through several stages. First is wet clay, which is very malleable. Second is what I call the cheese hard stage. It is still slightly bendable without cracking. Third is the leather hard stage. At this stage clay cannot be bent without cracking but you can still add or subtract from the surface by carving or building up with wet clay. Fourth is the bone dry stage. At this point the clay is dry and can no longer be added upon or subtracted from. It can only be fired or reconstituted into wet clay. After firing, I'm sure you know that pottery is very durable.


What is a malliable?

To be malleable (instead of malliable) means that the object can be flattened or molded relatively easily. Play-Doh would be a very malleable object, and aluminum is relatively malleable compared to chalk, which is almost not malleable at all (everything is at least slightly malleable, and there is no such thing as 100% malleable.)
