Clay can be molded by hand or by using a potters wheel to shape it. There are many techniques for shaping clay both by hand and machine. One of the common ways to mold clay is by liquefying the clay with water to make slip. The slip is then poured into molds made of plaster. The plaster absorbs the water from the clay leaving a clay wall behind in the mold in the shape of the mold. The mold is then disassembled and the resulting form, known as greenware, is slowly dried and then fired.

first you have to heat it until it is really gooey then start to mold because it hardens quickly

Put it in a pot and heat it over a stove. When it melts, you can go ahead place your wick in whatever container you're using and then pour the hot wax in around it.
