Fired clay is not reversible; once it has been heated in a kiln, it undergoes a chemical transformation that permanently hardens it into a ceramic material. This process, known as sintering, removes moisture and alters the structure of the clay, making it rigid and unable to return to its original malleable state. While unfired clay can be reshaped or reused, fired clay cannot be reconstituted into its original form.

Is clay irreversible?
Clay can exhibit both reversible and irreversible properties depending on its treatment. When clay is wet, it can be molded and shaped, making it reversible; however, once it is fired in a kiln, it undergoes a chemical change that hardens it, making it irreversible. This transformation means that fired clay cannot return to its original plastic state. Thus, the reversibility of clay largely depends on whether it has been fired or not.
What is clay that has been fired for permanence?
Glaze.
