To set wet clay, you must first shape the clay into your desired form. Next, allow the clay to air dry until it reaches a leather-hard stage, where it is still slightly damp but firm enough to hold its shape. Finally, you can further dry the clay in a kiln to remove all moisture and harden it into a permanent ceramic piece.
