Once you've learned how to forage for yourself, the next step you should take is to learn how to work with clay. You will need a shovel to perform this task, and you start off with one, so don't drop it!
Once you have found a tile of clay, double-click a shovel in your inventory (you can open this with the F3 key) to activate it, and right click the clay tile. You should see a new option named Dig; click it. If you've started to dig, you're on the right path, but if it states that you're on too steep a slope to dig, simply move to another position and retry. Slopes become to steep when the dirt slope is greater than 3x your digging skill (This includes any slopes on any tiles bordering the tile you wish to dig on).
If you've done everything correctly and successfully completed digging, you should now see an item in your inventory called "clay". Activate either of your hands under the Body section of your inventory (remember, double-click to activate) and right-click a piece of clay. You should notice a sub-menu called "Create". Hover over this menu and a list of things you can make with the clay using your hand will appear. Currently you may only create a flask, jar, or bowl. You should make at least 2 jars and 2 bowls so that you can hold plenty of water and be able to cook two meals at once. This is entirely optional, but it is recommended.
Once you finish creating your clay items, you may notice that you can't really do anything with them. Clay items are raw and need to be hardened by fire, which brings us to our next section...
