Mud thrown onto a wheel (4)

I believe the answer is:

clay

(Other definitions for clay that I've seen before include "Earth for pottery" , "Soft wet earth that can be fired" , "Raw material for pottery" , "slip" , "Material used for bricks, ceramics etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
