ancient sumerian clay tablets were made of mud, water. the writing was made up of wedge shaped symbols. also, only scribes knew how to make the clay tablets and how to write on them.
Clay tablets were made out of clay that was easily found by the rivers of Tigris and Euphrates.
Some people use them to make art. They wanna use the same technique that the Native Americans did with clay tablets. IT's fun, you should try it.

Sumerians wrote cuneiform by using a stylus made of reed or bone to make wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets. The cuneiform script consisted of a combination of pictograms and wedges that represented sounds. It was written in rows from left to right or sometimes in columns.
Sumerian is the oldest known written language in human history. The writing was called cuneiform after the wedge shaped writing instrument. The pictograms were etched onto clay tablets and fired in kilns to make the writing endure. It was replaced by the Aramaic around 900BC. The Egyptians developed hieroglyphics, and they wrote on papyrus made from reeds. Papyrus was cheaper and easier to produce and keep than the clay tablets.

Sumerians used clay tablets and a reed stylus to produce cuneiform writing. The stylus created wedge-shaped impressions on the soft clay, forming the distinctive script of cuneiform.
