wet clay
Sculptor's pliable earth
Wet clay is clay that has been mixed with water to make it soft and workable.
Potters and sculptors shape wet clay before firing it in a kiln.
The term often appears in contexts emphasizing malleability or potential: The child's mind is wet clay, ready to be shaped.
